Tough Friends (1938)

How steel and steel alloys make the modern automobile safer and more durable.

Thank you for making these videos public. They're highly informative and relaxing to watch, even though I have to admit that watching them as an adult makes me feel like I didn't receive proper schooling as a child. Short films like this should be a staple in any classroom, but for some reason that's not the case. I enjoy the narrating style as well.

I thought I was the only one that felt like that It actually made me feel real emotional and wonder why some who choose aren't taught things like this

[@234dilligaf]

Amazing how educational these old videos are! Society (as a whole) has been dumbed down these days.

[@rickdevault2535]

At least it wasn't a robot voice. Great video.

[@richardhead8264]

@rick devault _I got a good laugh because you began your sentence with "At least!"_ 🤣👏

[@glowingnut]

[@gobdeep]

And ALLOY - “Uh-loy”

[@davidgruen7423]

glowingnut and temperachore.

Every second word he says is pronounced classically

The now dead Mid Atlantic accent.

From a time when college-level metallurgy was used to sell people cars.

[@kapioskapiopoylos7338]

now all it has come down it is, shinny plastic, more complex electronics than would ever be needed, more and bigger touch screens to fail, enjoy total nonsense commercials that have nothing to do with the actual car. now with financing so bad that when you realise what you signed you will totaly regret everything, but at least "more touch screens".

Yesss! A group of rubber grommets are picketing this as we speak!!

[@joshacollins84]

"Friendly little fractions" he says? 😆 Personally, I have never found fractions to be "friendly", but instead confusing. 😆

[@daviddavidson2357]

I've seen so many of these I could build a 30s Chevrolet from scratch at this point. Were these played in theatres as commercials when they were made? Or were they designed for classroom use and just paid for by Chevrolet?

[@polymetric2614]

yeah i actually also want to know where these were actually meant to be played originally

[@thefriendlymadman229]

Iron ore mixed with a chemical and ignited producing tremendous heat! Did that dude just make thermite?

[@shauyaun4285]

The way he says temperature and alloy seem weird

[@dickhangn]

When it was a real Chevy...J/K

FACTOR

[@geoben1810]

Just 3yrs later, in December 1941, America would begin manufacturing war machines with the iron and steel shown here in unprecedented numbers as she entered WW2 in a fight against fascism that raged on two fronts. 🇺🇸

[@daviddavidson2357]

In wars the public opposed too.

[@PeterDiCapua]

Why are you shouting at us!!

[@noorazmi2329]

That is an alpha male.

[@iteerrex8166]

My guess is.. Back in the day transmissions were weak the longer the distance. So they shouted into the mics. Tho this was recorded in an studio, their manmer were effected by how they talked over the phone. It probably made it sound exiting too as if speaking to over seas. Now a days we use other tricks to make it look and sound exiting.

[@afridmohammad9229]

No safety measures for the workers

[@hamzasami8362]

1930s... what do you expect. Works were treated like shit, kid workers were used in dangerous operations and were underpaid.

[@pwneytube]

Just like China today, where most of our goods come from. Not much has changed, we just keep it out of sight on the other side of the globe.
