@@agentmueller I was a Missile Technician on board those submarines. My job was to maintain the missiles, the launcher systems, fire control systems and all associated subsystems to launch the UGM-133A Trident II missile(aka the Trident II D5 missile). On the West Virginia and the Wyoming I was the lead personnel manager of 25 guys while out to sea and over 50 guys while in port when our crew owned the boat. My last two patrols, I was lead personnel manager over the Missile Technicians, Fire Control Technicians(torpedo guidance), Torpedoman, Sonar Technicians and Deck Division(who were the guys that made sure the boat topside and inside while underway made sure we had no rust). My first two patrols and my last two patrols were the hardest one of my life for different reasons. The first two patrols, I was busy qualifying for my submarine dolphins(a requirement to become a submariner) and doing my divisional qualifications to stand watch. The last two patrols was the sheer amount of people that worked under me, about 50. And I was the one woken up when there was a problem with equipment or personnel. So I hardly ever got more than 3 hours of sleep while underway and there was always one idiot who was always in trouble or getting a DUI when in port. Along with being the lead personnel manager, I was also the force protection assistant officer, ships qualifications petty officer(in charge of all E6 and below qualification requirements for personnel qualifying for their submarine dolphins) and ships calibration petty officer. When I left the Wyoming, I was tired and ready to retire.

Fun fact, that version of a horn is called a "klaxon"... Or at least, that's the modern term used to describe the "ahh-ooo-gahh"-type of horn or siren. Technically, in its original usage as a brand name of horn, a Klaxon used crank-driven percussion of a diaphragm instead of air-induced vibration (think old-fashioned police or fire sirens, air raid sirens, or tornado warnings); however the sound is so distinctive that once the trademark expired, it entered the modern lexicon to describe that particular sound of siren or horn. The word has even entered many other languages (such as Japanese, French, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Spanish, Romanian , Czech, Indonesian, Turkish, and Korean) to describe any general car horn. The more you know!

I think a better way of describing it would be like this: 1. The car sits VERY tall on what are basically wooden wagon wheels, not actual tires. It also has no real cabin, so you don't ride _in_ it as much as you ride _on top_ of it. 2. It doesn't have much internal storage space, so you've got external racks and spaces where you'd put luggage like steamer trunks that'd normally sit at the foot of a bed, suitcases and baggage, and spare tires (because lord knows you're gonna need them). Basically, if you were moving stuff, you'd strap shit to your car instead of putting it inside the car. 3. The controls are all kinds of whack. One peddle is simultaneously the clutch AND the gear shift, one peddle acts as a brake (but ONLY if the first peddle is in neutral), and one peddle is entirety dedicated to reversing. And both the arms on the steering wheel control your speed, one controlling the fuel intake while the other controls the spark plugs. This isn't even mentioning the whole startup sequence. If you left this thing off while getting groceries, you could be 100% confident NOBODY could steal it because just starting it, let alobe driving it, is so complicated. 4. As for the horn, it's more of a mechanical siren than anything. It's like if you taped a bell to a loudspeaker and just slapped it onto the side of your car. Looking at this from the perspective of a modern driver, this shit is closer to tractor than to a communal automobile.

You want a car that puts today to shame, look at a same year Pope tribune, or a Pierce Arrow, or a Standard American underslung Queen Kissel Chalmers Winton Rubay Alco Buick. ..

I like the way he says “slow down” the spark, instead of the now non-PC word he wanted to use

Me trying to imagine how you slow down a spark in real life (as opposed to a slow-mo video). 😂 I think "delay" would have been a better word, but what I know for sure is that KZbin is "slowed down" for preventing him from using the proper terminology! 🤦♂️

My grandmother said that her father, apparently an extremely patient man, would turn the engine for sometimes an hour before the thing would start up for him and would never complain about it.

Some old cars from 100’s of years ago had a carriage that you could grease, they used these things I forgot the name of them, that would hold the grease and then every time you hit a bump, it wouldn’t screech.

My foster dad had 2 model T's both had the cloth top to them. Didn't run, but I remember always wanting to sit in them and act as though I was driving. Never had a clue they were older than my grandfather. I still love seeing one today. They were the stepping stones to today's cars and were a marvel of the time.

You can also jump it if it wasn’t sitting for too long, you pull down the gas quickly, it works sometimes

Model T's are still surprisingly affordable considering their age. They made SO MANY of them, and they're only marginally drivable on modern roads, so it helps curb demand.

It was only available in black from it's inception through 1925 - Henry Ford famously said you could get it in any color you wanted, as long as it was black.

Turning over a T with your right hand like that is asking for trouble lmao The engine turns over right so if you're using your right hand it could throw the crank a half turn right. If you're holding it with your right hand, it compresses your arm and can break your wrist or elbow. If you use your left hand, it just yanks it OUT of your hand and it eliminates any risk of breaking your arm.

Older cars might not have been the safest back in the days but at least they looked more stylish then modern cars.

It is called retarding the spark, not slowing down the spark. It is adjusting the rotational angle of the crankshaft when the spark will occur, not how fast the spark travels between the plug gaps.

The Model T was designed for working families living on dirt roads. Hence the clearance and cargo capacity.

Fun part about step one of starting it. That ignition advance is important, if it fires before you reach the top it could spin backwards and break your thumb. Also why you should not put your thumb around the handle, instead tuck it in your palm.
