Back then, cameras and all that were huge, cumbersome, expensive, not easy to operate. Commercials used to be big productions. Animation? Graphics? You can google all that nowadays, and there's probably tutorials.

      It's the principle of how stuff works what a learning person needs to know.
      They explained things in these films expecting the viewer that he knows nothing about the subject and used very simple physical objects to represent stuff that is actually in parts of cars aswell as proceeding slowly with the narrator explaining almost everything.

Now most cars have forged parts and the processes have been improved to optimize efficiency the pistons are stronger and lighter, while having better optimized shapes. as far as the block and head materials, those are now aluminum or ALSI.

      back in those days, women were family oriented, soft spoken and very humble unlike the spoiled entitled brats we have now. finding a woman like that today is very difficult but also very comforting.

      I don't think there was sexism in that sentence, you see, the wife isn't an engineer, that's why the wife said "i'm your wife, not your ingeneer friends" then the hubs said that eveb you can understand this, i think he meant that even though she's not an engineer, she can understand this.... then again it is the 1950's.
