We used to show a bunch of those old Jam Handy films in our automotive classes at the college. We had them on 16mm film until the early 90's, then on VCR for 10 years, then CD's for 5-6 years now on Youtube. Even though the information is still 100% relevant today, you couldn't get a young aspiring mechanic to watch more than 30 seconds of that old black and white stuff. Aaah, the good old days.

The little blip on the oblong gears was interesting. So the output ratio would vary considerably through the cycle? Trying to think what that would have been used for?

Yeah, those mirror-image elliptical gears were something I never thought of.
I guess I was remembering wrong about my first car ('36 Chevy). I would have said it had no synchros- maybe they were worn out (it was just a field car, when I was 14).

Never seen that one. It reminds me of one of my favorite, similar films on how a differential works... Ingenious method of explaining it.

Why was it titled "differential steering"? To me, that title would pertain to individual brake steering- think bulldozer.
All auto enthusiasts should be required to watch that last portion- showing that the ONLY reason for hypoid rear gears was for flatter car floors.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
