  • "Gadgets Galore" Funny, way old automobile clips and calamities! Crazy old horseless carriages and their crazier drivers. These were the good 'ol days when the car first outdistanced the horse. Oscar nominated for best short subject in 1955. Enjoy!

      Doing dialects and accents used to be a needed skill for voice over or even stand-up. Sadly the thin skinned among us can sometimes be too critical of that. The cries range from cultural appropriation to outright racism. And though I can see that in some cases since material is more expanded today, I'd hate to think a classic, innocent bit like "Si, Sye" with Jack Benny and Mel Blanc would be demonized.

Sometimes that could also be fun to drive Japanese Domestic vehicles before the turn of the century that aren't made like another kitchen appliance like they have been since the early 00s.

    My favorite "gadget" is a prank pyrotechnic device sold in novelty catalogs in the 1920s and '30s, designed to convince the target that his car is about to fall apart. The 10-cent item was wired to a spark plug, such that about 10 seconds after the driver started the engine the device emitted an ever-escalating series of alarming bangs, flashes, howls, etc., that simulated an engine tearing itself apart. Great fun, and perfectly safe, I'm sure!

      Steam innovators solved the "long brew-up" problem pretty early on, by incorporating high-pressure flash boilers which made it possible to drive off within one minute of starting the car. The Doble steam car of the mid-'30s was considered to be the perfection of the steam car, however it was quite expensive, large, and required more maintenance than a gas job, so it never caught on. But it could run on cheap kerosene, home heating oil, etc, and was quieter and smoother in operation than gasoline competitors. The major internal-combustion engine makers kept up a barrage of public criticism of steam technology until the latter became a joke, at which point the steam era came to an end.

    I'm not entirely positive about this due to the fact that I'm unable to see a glimpse of the front of the car but, I believe that the "Backwards Facing Car" shown for a brief time during the film, is none other than the fabled "Harry Hartz Backwards Plymouth". In 1932, Chrysler Corporation constructed a specially built "Backwards Plymouth" to gain attention to streamlining experiments and to test wind resistance. This was one of the several experiments leading up to the prototype Royal Trifon sedan. This lead to, what was to become, the Chrysler and De Soto Airflows of 1933.

    • @50zcarsman
      @50zcarsman 4 года назад +1

      The car wasn't designed to be LESS wind-resistant while driving backward -- notice that it lacks fairings of any kind -- but to MEASURE wind resistance in that mode, so that the Airflow design could be compared favorably with it.

    8:22 'Torpedo car, 6 miles a minute'. That's 360 mph. Back when the Land Speed Record was 133 mph.
