Differentials explained with awesome old-timey video

Just ran across this on C&D.  The differential explanation is the last half of the embedded youtube video - from 1937!  Sometimes simple explanations really are the best.  You could easily do this with CGI, but it's so much more real with stick models!

For sure, I wasn't complaining. Everything since 1937 has been a repost!  ;D

Check out the USAutoIndustry, King Rose Archives, Jeff Quitney and Ella's Archives channels on YouTube just to name a few. Lots and lots of vintage automotive stuff but be warned, it can be VERY addictive... ;)
