Video: Chevrolet Presents “Hydraulics” The 1936 Auto Mechanics Film On Brake Systems

Starting with the amazing scenery of Niagra falls, this video then goes into the explanation of how fluids work and specifically how hydraulic systems function. Because this is produced by Chevrolet, the primary focus becomes brake systems. This is good, because it shows you how master cylinders and wheel cylinders work. It even goes into explaining piston size and volume in a way that makes it easy to understand. With explanations on how much force it takes to stop a car from 60 mph, and information on shoes an drums, we found it not only informative but entertaining. We want to make out own modern versions.
