Around the Corner

Around the Corner: Around The Corner: How Differential Steering Works (9:31) is a brilliantly simple explination of the deceptively simple concept of differential steering by the Jam Handy Organization in 1937. It makes a great introduction to this more advanced modern explination (4:44) for the layman.

Much more from the Jam Handy Organization including:



Doctor in Industry (55:57) -1946

A simple demonstration of the basic design and operation of a watch, including stop-motion animation showing a watch being assembled from many parts.
