Principles of hydraulics explained, centering on the value for safety & comfort of hydraulic brakes. Producer: Handy (Jam) Organization Sponsor: Chevrolet Motor Company
I feel that sometimes people try to downplay the intellectual capabilities of people from earlier time eras, but just look at the concise explanations that were relayed in informal videos, such as this one!
I think the scope of these training videos were meant for people who lacked the technological background and wanted to move to the city and be done with "Pa's farm". Though life is different now, I think we can use this approach again.
Only fools think that. People were always inventing and striving for better, that's how we got our modern tools. And we can't stop now, it's our duty to invent the tools that will make future lives even better

@SoMuchFacepalm Nowadays it seems to be a prerequisite!!! I recently dated an elementary school teacher. One morning we were doing a crossword puzzle together and she asked, What's a shooner? I glanced over and told her to go back to shool, she was trying to pronounce schooner!! We are no longer an item.
@@SimonWoodburyForget Of course. It's a good thing to go over the basics frequently though. I've failed my fair share of tests because I forgot the basics. I have a horrible time remembering details and specifics so relating them to the basics in the area I'm studying helps me remember. Granted, I'm taking a medium level automotive class for the purposes of self diagnosis and repair of relatively easy to fix problems, not becoming an actual mechanic. Nothing as surface level as just knowing how to replace fluids and change brakes, but stuff like learning how to diagnose and replace a transmission, my belts and to better recognize issues before they become expensive. I guess you may have a point that it isn't particularly helpful if you're getting into something more serious, but it's a great foundation for newbies like me.
@@SimonWoodburyForget It's not about figuring it out. It's about being able to relate it easily to other things you know. That, isn't so easily done. If I were to put it more simply, It's not what is taught, it how it's taught. As for the cross-referencing bit: That's how I remember anything. I can't remember Quadradic formula for example, but I know how it was made and where each part of the equation came from. From there, I can reassemble the Quadratic formula from there.
@@SimonWoodburyForget I'm well aware. I still don't get your point. All I'm saying is that this is helpful. You're saying that it's basic knowledge that you can get in 10 min of google searching and that the brain learns differently for each person. You and I are on two different points here and neither of our points contradict each other... so I don't know why you're trying to convince me of something. We're on the same side.
Videos now: Some low testosterone hyperbolic actor waving their hands around with a unwarranted grin, followed by tasteless and unfunny humor; 70% of the video being about that person and some other useless content, and 30% of actual material. I miss the old school way on how things are presented, and I am not even from around that time.

These are the best, most informative videos I've seen. As an engineer, I can't stop watching these and want to make my own versions of these; explaining complex topics in terms that anyone can understand. I love these.
I'm the most un-handy man you can find, and these videos are absolutely amazing!!! These should actually be mandatory viewing for all (especially!) men!

The mechanical aspects of early vehicles I will always be able to respect. That and these old training videos/advertisements. My engine compartment has only 5 wires in it or somethin around there, can't stand harness work.
In the new Hyundai Veloster, its super easy to service or take the engine out. Just one wire harness to unplug, unbolt transmission, and a couple motor mounts and the engine is out in no time.
These videos are absolutely incredible. Through the use of easily understandable vocabulary and simple demonstrational models, I was able to understand the basic concept in only a 1 minutes and 30 second. I’ve wondered how hydraulics worked for a while, but always thought it would be too confusing to learn. Any other modern TH-cam video wouldn’t even be past the intro by 1 minutes and 30 seconds, but this video was straight to the point. And any school courses would’ve taken days of useless background knowledge and history before getting to the actual subject.
Simple Focused Clear Detailed No music, no color, no fancy text titles or anything. God bless those who made those videos. And the voice of that man seems lasted for 50 years. Every documentary video had that voice.
@@Francois_Dupont Drum brakes are excellent for parking brakes on steep hills as they are "self energizing" meaning they can generate their own breaking power once started. However they can lock-up under hard breaking reducing your breaking power in emergency's.
They're not dumbing it down. It's being explained in a very concise way. Exact and to the point. Video's like the ones produced today over explain simple concepts because the concepts "Are" simple. It's just that the presenters like those on TH-cam videos need to make themselves "Seem" more intelligent than another. Don't be fooled by people who think that they are smarter than others. They're not ! They've just learnt different things than what other people have.
Look how well every piece of specialty made demonstration equipment is machined and assembled. Remember when companies used to educate you enough to make you Respect them enough to buy their product?
Not everyone's goal in life is to get from 0 to 60 in 5 seconds. Slower accelerating cars still get the job done, and usually last longer because the RPM's are kept down and prevent larger wear on parts.
Damn! So interesting, yet puts me to sleep easily in the evening! I love it! Somehow I feel like I should have lived in the 20’s or 30’s. Something about those two decades hit me somewhere deeply that I can’t quite explain. Thanks for all of these videos!
Ikr, but if you think about it, the education system is pretty outdated and was probably the same since the time the original video was made. Just a bland school system that tests students skill in memory not knowledge where the goal is to make the exact same type of person through the fact that they have to get all As. The real wish is, if only school was based on students interests, not unoriginal information.
@@isthisagoodname4972 that's very true. Interests combined with aptitude tests and a choice bewteen hands on learning and/or auditory lessons would probably make the best learning environment
Lucky for them, but it isn't just education thats fruad its also just how society is designed in general and this goes for the whole world. Like how kids have to spend hours at school and probably dont like it then graduate or drop out, just to get a job they will probably hate doing and have to spend hours doing it just for minimal wage and how it continues like that until you retire. Some people get it easy and many get it hard. And it leads to people feeling depressed during school hoping they get it over with, then nothing gets better after school and they either have to go with it or just mentally suffer to the point where they start to feel suicidal. If only humanity made it you have more meaning to life other than to work. Thats all we do, work.
I've read, watched, listened, thought and imagined for long time, years to be precise. Now in 3 minutes I understood! Are our brains filled with complications?
Love how these vintage videos simplify mechanical topics into easily understood explanations and demonstrations. Drum brakes as the primary car brakes though... well that's getting a bit too vintage, haha.
It's interesting or even emotional to think that while almost certainly all the people involved in the making of this are dead by now, their work has been preserved and passed down
these videos that explains "complicated" topics in such simplicity shows why in the past they used to make great engineering projects with many breakthroughs.
I love watching these. I also fall asleep every time. Had a machining job that made us come in for schooling on Saturday mornings and they'd always play this kind of stuff
3:11 I think I just nerded out. The press multiplies Force, not Power. Lol. It's a Force multiplier because of conservation of Energy. Power is Energy distributed over a Time interval. Same energy, same time interval = same power. Work = Force * Distance, is a form of energy. Energy (Work) is fixed, so different distances means different forces.
Here's some more nerd for you. Rene Descartes, the 17th century philosopher, scientist, and mathematician (he invented Cartesian coordinates as a means of translating algebra into geometry and vice versa), did some of his early scientific work in hydraulics, and that led him to become one of the first scientific "atomic" theorists. But back then, atomic theory, or rather, the theory that matter was made of tiny particles, was called "microcorpuscularianism."
Its so easy to soak up all the knowledge from these videos because they provide examples and stem from simplicity. Im so glad i found these people have tried explaining these concepts to me and i could never grasp onto it but these videos are amazing.

@@SlippySnack it's only a concern when servicing brake drums, which are infrequent since they are typically only sold on lightweight economy cars that don't put much stress on them. still, it's why you need to take great precaution by dousing down the inside of the drum with brake cleaner fluid before you fiddle around taking it off.

Actually asbestos isn't that bad, it just was severely overused and once the cancerogenic properties were found it was unnecessary demonised. It is a great material with great properties, it just shouldn't be used in places where it can be a hazard like for example the building industry.

The real wish is, if only school was based on students interests, not unoriginal information.
@@isthisagoodname4972 that's very true. Interests combined with aptitude tests and a choice bewteen hands on learning and/or auditory lessons would probably make the best learning environment
@@isthisagoodname4972 Not every viewer was educated in USA where most of the time you only need to write a, b, c or d on a test...
Lucky for them, but it isn't just education thats fruad its also just how society is designed in general and this goes for the whole world.
Like how kids have to spend hours at school and probably dont like it then graduate or drop out, just to get a job they will probably hate doing and have to spend hours doing it just for minimal wage and how it continues like that until you retire. Some people get it easy and many get it hard. And it leads to people feeling depressed during school hoping they get it over with, then nothing gets better after school and they either have to go with it or just mentally suffer to the point where they start to feel suicidal. If only humanity made it you have more meaning to life other than to work. Thats all we do, work.
I appreciate the videos being slow and concise enough to allow us to take in the information at human speed.
anyone notice how simple and effective old training/learning videos are.

hahaha yeah
"The modern motor car!" Hilarious. We actually used to talk that way!

0-60 in 20 seconds; AA/FA class right there.
Love the old timey music and the clear annunciation by the announcer. Informative and to the point.
Thank you TH-cam, for recommending this video to me after a decade
I've read, watched, listened, thought and imagined for long time, years to be precise. Now in 3 minutes I understood! Are our brains filled with complications?
OH!!! THAT'S how drum brakes work! Wow, these videos are freaking amazing!
this is what you call an elegant explanation without even showing the face.
In 13 years time, this video will officially be 100 years old. Holy shit.
Love how these vintage videos simplify mechanical topics into easily understood explanations and demonstrations.
Drum brakes as the primary car brakes though... well that's getting a bit too vintage, haha.
I'd love to have any one of those cars for a project.
I’ve been running from Jam Handy my entire childhood just to come back to it in my older life gleefully
I think this needs to be watched for every engineering class
It's interesting or even emotional to think that while almost certainly all the people involved in the making of this are dead by now, their work has been preserved and passed down
:,(
this must have been rocket science back in the 1936, just imagine the people who had the foresight, skill, knowledge & ability to execute.
These videos are so bloody good. It doesn't matter how technical your knowledge, there's something for everyone.
these videos that explains "complicated" topics in such simplicity shows why in the past they used to make great engineering projects with many breakthroughs.
Ohh, Jesus, I just realized I learned more now then in my brakes class...lol
6:50 even 1936 had people pulling out in front of you.
I love watching these. I also fall asleep every time. Had a machining job that made us come in for schooling on Saturday mornings and they'd always play this kind of stuff
Thank you so much for sharing these.
3:11 I think I just nerded out. The press multiplies Force, not Power. Lol. It's a Force multiplier because of conservation of Energy. Power is Energy distributed over a Time interval. Same energy, same time interval = same power. Work = Force * Distance, is a form of energy. Energy (Work) is fixed, so different distances means different forces.
Here's some more nerd for you. Rene Descartes, the 17th century philosopher, scientist, and mathematician (he invented Cartesian coordinates as a means of translating algebra into geometry and vice versa), did some of his early scientific work in hydraulics, and that led him to become one of the first scientific "atomic" theorists. But back then, atomic theory, or rather, the theory that matter was made of tiny particles, was called "microcorpuscularianism."
Two years after this film was made, the hydraulically driven trash compacting garbage truck was invented by Garwood Industries of Detroit.
Its so easy to soak up all the knowledge from these videos because they provide examples and stem from simplicity. Im so glad i found these people have tried explaining these concepts to me and i could never grasp onto it but these videos are amazing.
If you want to really understand something nothing beats these old videos
Howard Hughes developed hydraulic for Aircraft first to use.
These older videos are explained incredibly well. Only losers would rate this video down.
I come here in 2020 to learn things i always wanted to understand but never bothered gathering information about. These videos are a treat!
Those older materials are much more better than present. Thank you for adding! ;)
2:39 can someone tell me what gun that is?
I believe this is it
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/14-inch_gun_M1907
Loved the hydraulic cannon, we can combine the leverage video and the hydraulic videos and create a weapon of mass destruction!
Yeah, any idea what that was?
Love this old videos of technical explanations. They are amazing.
So well explained, especially the simple yet ingenious hydraulics setup at the beginning to illustrate the basics.
Fact. Liquids can be compressed. Practically, no. Yet, yes.
Yes; but usually before that happens, whatever it's in tends to blow apart.
Let's not talk about electron degenerate matter in white dwarfs.
Let's just scratch off some nice asbestos
Wittenoom, Australia (Edit: I mean the Blue Asbestos Mine at that location) was working then.
cancer!!
+Austin Lucas ?
@Paul Collinsworth cheese? Not sure tho I'm no scientist
That's what I was thinking. I wonder how many other people watching the video know that pads like that were made from asbestos all those years ago.
we need someone like this man bc this man really explained it simply and i think most people understand it
That was wonderfully clear. I wish modern videos were more often like this.
Plot twist:
He painted the breaks red, but said it was black because people used to be colorblind in the 30’s. That’s why TVs didn’t have color
TV's*
No. TV were black because in 1936, the world was black and white only.
It wasn't until around 1950s until colored paint were invented to paint the world

Asbestos brake linings are still legal in the USA, but most brake linings are now asbestos free.
@@SlippySnack it's only a concern when servicing brake drums, which are infrequent since they are typically only sold on lightweight economy cars that don't put much stress on them. still, it's why you need to take great precaution by dousing down the inside of the drum with brake cleaner fluid before you fiddle around taking it off.
@@SlippySnack It's also why air quality in cities are dangerous because of all the brake dust in the air from all the cars on the road.
6:15 It has been a long time since I worked with brake shoes but that definitely looks to me like asbestos, which is never good.
Pretty ignorant statement to make about a film from almost 90 years ago. What do you think they were made out of back then?
@@brandon18054 So if people ever comment about the radiation given off by the nuclear disaster at Chernoble then they're making ignorant comments? It was merely an observation. Go back in to your safe space & hug your Mum because you seem scorned!
Actually asbestos isn't that bad, it just was severely overused and once the cancerogenic properties were found it was unnecessary demonised. It is a great material with great properties, it just shouldn't be used in places where it can be a hazard like for example the building industry.
The simplicity of this explanation gives me confidence that they can teach me anything of without any difficulty.
So elegant and clear.
Any else's stomach drop at 6:50?
