Those advertisements were targeted at a more-or-less literate public, unlike today, where everything is dumbed-down and designed with morons in mind.

true!

paulparoma This ad is dumbed down too.

People are dumbed down today for sure!

They were also 10 minutes long.

Yep, this old stuff is far more educational and understandable than the crap we get today

Commercials then is like Japanese website, fully cramped with informations. Commercials now is like western websites, sleek and simple.

terradrive They had to draw every frame and take a picture of each drawing in good lighting then arrange them in order and transpire them onto film and then splice the film together with the actual footage.

Oh gosh, that didn't occur to me. I'm so used to computer animation that I basically just assumed computer usage. Man, that is good quality for being done by hand like that

it was all literally hand drawn in the film reels back then. back when being an editor was really hard work.

@@bentrod3405 "They had to draw every frame and take a picture of each drawing" They were not that dumb. It is rather simple and for such technical animations not that much work. Each part of the brake is drawn once on its own glas panel (yes, glas) and then they all were assembled in the configuration needed for that frame, the photographed. Then they were moved ever so slightly for the next frame, photographed again, rins and repeat. You can also nicely see that the hand is of way lower quality as that is an organic deforming part - those had to be drawn for each distinct frame (but there are not many, maybe 20 in total.)

ABaumstumpf ok but that’s still a lot of dedication to make it look good

that's detail! :D

I noticed the same. Glad I'm not the only one. 😄

There is a city in Quebec named Asbestos. I am not sure it that is where it got its name.

@@JohnDoe-gm5qr That's definitely where it got its name.

Very good

Asbestos was used in so many aplications because it is very strong and resistant material, in fact that is the main reason why it is so cancerogenic...

Am I the only one who literally can't stand even back then evidently present everything U.S. wallowing in self-adulation? My God, the self-aggrandisement is tiresome! _»We are the greatest, most awesome!!!«_ That boastful arrogance makes sick.

@@Smartcom5 you are reaching for something. I'm not sure if you'll find it here

@@jeepmanxj I'm just saying, the videos might be _way_ more enjoyable if it *weren't* for their constant self-adulation - it's extremely tedious and gets almost pesky at times. … to the point, that you sometimes annoyingly just want to scream at your monitor, _“Will ya just shut the f-ck up for once and explain the principle with a tiny bit less sensationalism and cheap self-praise, you c0cky m0r0n!?”_ The U.S. literally can't get across something technical (or anything, if we're already at it…), without praising themselves to the skies and picture everything U.S. as _oh so_ star-sprangled awesome. Decadence in pure form.

Disc brakes were around much earlier, particularly in the aircraft industry, but they were too expensive to be practical for standard automobiles.

and drums were used in the rear of trucks up umtil 2016, they are cheaper and last far longer

@@jacobsweat1520 Drums are still used for some applications.

@@jacobsweat1520 cheap cars still have drums in the rear to this day.

"Development of disc-type brakes began in England in the 1890s. In 1902, the Lanchester Motor Company designed brakes that looked and operated in a similar way to a modern disc-brake system even though the disc was thin and a cable activated the brake pad."

It's all most impossible to explain cars nowadays 😂

@@louisedwards6681 I disagree. The companies just don't want you educated.

It's a different theory of advertising. Today, emotion connected to a brand is the primary goal of ads. Back then, the trend was for a more "scientific" approach, educating consumers about why your product is better. This makes sense, as it came at a time when new products were frequent, just as it is today. So, it should be no surprise that educational marketing still happens, today. We call it "content marketing," and its how I make my living partially. if I were writing this script today, I don't think I'd say "Chevrolet" quite so many times, but otherwise, it would be a great blog post or ad spot script for a podcast. My point is, times have always been as they are: sometimes good, sometimes bad, and always in flux. There is no such thing as the "good old days," only the naturally nostalgic affect of our imperfect memories.

@@rasterbate87 I'm 90% sure that all those technical videos weren't meant for the general public but more for dealerships or marketing people so they know what they're talking about.

Yep, Heaven forbid you drive a 1929 Dodge with hydraulic brakes. LOL! Makes us appreciate what we have now.

I hope this is sarcasm, I'm pretty happy with my 4 pot brembos that can bring my 3500lb m3 to a dead stop from 80mph in little over 120ft

That technology is still mounted on some low cost car

Drchainsaw77 you know, at 19 years old and doing 0-60 in 4.5 seconds now with a lil tune, its gonna take quite a while. What's that brand new Kia Stinger do? 4.3 seconds, 19 years later? Hmmm I'm still running NA. With a lil turbo, i could make this car run 9 second quarter miles

Speed is limited to our ability to stop,and probably increased after the fourth beer 😄

💯agree! I LOVE them, and watch them as frequently as YT recommends.

state of the art computers, right there

Ford held on to mechanical brakes the longest. Ol' Henry was a stubborn old goat that resisted change so long as he thought the status quo was "good enough".

You haven't been exposed to the early cars yet, cute.

Now nobody wants drum brakes. Even trucks only have them as a parking brake and that is inside a disc brake rotor. I heard they are a pain in the ass to change.

Imagine his reaction to disc brakes

@@JohnDoe-gm5qr drum brakes are great when it comes to older cars that have discs infront and drums on back. Very little maintenance is required and they work really smoothly and do their job.

If anything, he's not excited enough! I've been watching these videos for three days (someone help)

This is a propaganda video telling people that Chevy's mechanical brakes were still better than somebody elses' hydraulic brakes.

i love his passion to break drums

@@PiecykM "brake"

He was not shouting. That is how people spoke back those days.

He is shouting, not because that's how people talked back then, but be because microphones were not very sensitive back then. If he talked normally, the hiss in the background would be much louder. This still applies today with consumer microphones. Want good audio quality; talk as loud as you comfortably can, then turn in down in editing to a normal volume.

Which they won't, due to their strong, mechanical, steel rods and strong, steel cables rated with a tensile strength of over 3000 pounds -- much higher than required!

@@10NBLR I read that with the narrator's voice haha

Note they arn't offering any stopping times, or how long before those cables stretch and need balance adjustment.

@@DanafoxyVixen because the proof is in the pudding, and it was 1934

@@10NBLR 69+1

I'm sure he was excited about and by friction that night as well.

Yeah, we've come so far that some new cars in 2019 still use drum brakes (rear brakes in low powered cars) and the construction (except for having a self adjuster) is almost the same.

draconpost my friends 2015 Tacoma has drums in the rear, they work great and haven’t been touched in 80 thousand miles

Elliot my motorcycle disagrees with you

@@adventure_F0x haha no worries , all opinions are valid

@@elliot7179 True, but they will fade quite a lot faster than disc's due to heat. Also drums are much more susceptible to losing their braking strength due to foreign material like water, dust or dirt getting into the drums. Lastly brake dust build up is another concern since drums are pretty much sealed. Not saying drums are bad, but they have a few bad disadvantages over disc's

Pffffff. I have a couple ideas lololol

yes owo

I do feel like manufacturers just assume everyone is only concerned with the simplest or most obvious features of their products and won’t bother with this type of content anymore.

I’ll do ford: this diesel is filled with garbage material. It might last for a week or maybe even a month. Come back year after year to sue us over it and then for our parting piece; the EcoBomb: the valves won’t close and then they’ll leak. The turbo fills with soot and doesn’t work or only works at full throttle. The parts you need to change will be happily changed by techs and usually average about $3000-$4000 for a simple water pump R&R. Oh, and it’s made wherever in one of our shops somewhere on the globe.

@@bolt_husky 🎵Ford is the best in Texas!🎵

@@bolt_husky right on the money. Don't forget the crap transmissions that shudder instead of going into gear and will just go to neutral whenever they feel like as you go down the highway.

We don't use brake drums anymore though, not nearly as much anymore anyways. But it shouldn't be easy to remove the brakes either, because that means they can fall apart easily too :P

And, don't let that "stop" you from watching more Jam Handy productions!

Because your keep watching them

The narration is a bit deliberately misleading … hydraulic brakes did spread pressure to each wheel more evenly (?) Also hydraulic brakes were available on a growing number of makes at this point, still new but…even on Plymouth a direct competitor to Chevrolet

the stereo microphone wasnt developed until Hitler ordered a special microphone to record Frances surrender.

@Vince it's called midatlantic. People forget that people spoke in a transatlantic english, and not the serial killer dialect you all present today or "modern valley speak" as some call it. Midatlantic, not to be confused with transatlantic, transatlantic being everyday speech pattern or if you are making a movie in current day: british, because people don't understand that historical movies don't always have to be british voiced.

You have Zhiguli?

@@nicostenfors5690 Zhiguli, there is no such machine. There is a car "Жигули" and the same car in the west is called - LADA. And I have a "Москвич" - Moskvich. There on the rear wheels are the same brake pads and modern disc brakes in front. Even this machine has powerful leaf springs, so this machine can withstand 1000 kg of load.

@@user-wt9ru8cm9d Moskvich is nice car. Im from Finland so i know what Lada is.

@@nicostenfors5690 From Finland ? Wow, Finland is a good country, in Finland produce good quality products. I, for example, knew the Nokia company long before the phones were made there. I love fishing and we sold fishing boots Nokia )). And you probably don’t know. At a time when the Soviet Union was still, the 1980 Olympics were held in Moscow, and then all the USSR shops had quality products from Finland, from butter, to sausage and fish. Even rebrand cigarettes of famous companies were from Finland. It was a major contract for the supply of products from Finland. Western countries refused to help Moscow and supply quality products and goods during the Olympics. Only the German company adidas agreed to supply equipment and clothing, and they also built their factory in Moscow for the production of sportswear and sneakers. I was very young then and first met delicious finnish products)) But I am not from Russia, my country is called Belarus. Yes, and the Moskvich car was never considered good by us, it was just the cheapest sedan and they were badly turned on in the winter. And the LADA ВАЗ - 2106 was considered the most reliable and reliable machine in the USSR

They had no idea about Disc brake back then. Well they kinda had but mass production of them was not an option. It began many years later in 1955.
