Thanks for posting that, TB. I never understood exactly how a differential worked until I watched that.
Hard to believe that a movie from 1937 finally got the message across!
(...and how wacky was the motorcycle drill team? Standing up on the seat of a moving motorcycle...no thanks.)

Re: old chevy comercial
Cool vid! Too bad they didn't have one for G80s. That first dif kind of looked like one, lol.
1937 wow. Sadly, it is likely that every soul present in the film, both living and mechanical, are most likely long departed.
