It's a different theory of advertising. Today, emotion connected to a brand is the primary goal of ads. Back then, the trend was for a more "scientific" approach, educating consumers about why your product is better. This makes sense, as it came at a time when new products were frequent, just as it is today. So, it should be no surprise that educational marketing still happens, today. We call it "content marketing," and its how I make my living partially. if I were writing this script today, I don't think I'd say "Chevrolet" quite so many times, but otherwise, it would be a great blog post or ad spot script for a podcast. My point is, times have always been as they are: sometimes good, sometimes bad, and always in flux. There is no such thing as the "good old days," only the naturally nostalgic affect of our imperfect memories.
@@rasterbate87 I'm 90% sure that all those technical videos weren't meant for the general public but more for dealerships or marketing people so they know what they're talking about.

What is so fantastic about this video is that it gives you an issue, explains _why_ the issue exists and is a problem, then tell you how it can be fixed. Like how it explained that heat can warp the breaking pivots, that it’s an issue because it wears down the breaking sleeves unevenly, and then explains that it can be fixed with a spring mechanism which evenly applies the sleeve every time.
Interesting and educational. Chevrolet was still pushing mechanical brakes in 1934. A friend of mine bought a 1929 Dodge that already had hydraulic brakes.
Ford held on to mechanical brakes the longest. Ol' Henry was a stubborn old goat that resisted change so long as he thought the status quo was "good enough".
The attention to detail in this animation is amazing. When they were trying to show an increased force, they even drew the human arm being tensed up. Truly educational, and from this I can infer the manufacturers/consumers perhaps sell/chose products more rationally back then, instead of being programmed to emotion-buy things that no one needs.
Now nobody wants drum brakes. Even trucks only have them as a parking brake and that is inside a disc brake rotor. I heard they are a pain in the ass to change.
@@JohnDoe-gm5qr drum brakes are great when it comes to older cars that have discs infront and drums on back. Very little maintenance is required and they work really smoothly and do their job.
Yeah, we've come so far that some new cars in 2019 still use drum brakes (rear brakes in low powered cars) and the construction (except for having a self adjuster) is almost the same.
@@elliot7179 True, but they will fade quite a lot faster than disc's due to heat. Also drums are much more susceptible to losing their braking strength due to foreign material like water, dust or dirt getting into the drums. Lastly brake dust build up is another concern since drums are pretty much sealed. Not saying drums are bad, but they have a few bad disadvantages over disc's
He is shouting, not because that's how people talked back then, but be because microphones were not very sensitive back then. If he talked normally, the hiss in the background would be much louder. This still applies today with consumer microphones. Want good audio quality; talk as loud as you comfortably can, then turn in down in editing to a normal volume.
According to Wikipedia, 1934 Chevrolets were powered by a 181 cu inch six cylinder engine producing 60 horsepower with a top speed of between 65-70 mph. Fast enough to kill you if your brakes failed.
Which they won't, due to their strong, mechanical, steel rods and strong, steel cables rated with a tensile strength of over 3000 pounds -- much higher than required!
Gone are they days when "Chevrolet" (and probably most automakers) would make something the best way possible because it is the best way possible. Today it's just the cheapest possible way that will probably still work. And all too often "probably" doesn't always work out if you've ever had a new car in for recall work.
They should make informative ads like this again, have a TV channel or two dedicated to them, and have different products at different hours, like 6pm is car hour, or 8pm is fridge hour.
I do feel like manufacturers just assume everyone is only concerned with the simplest or most obvious features of their products and won’t bother with this type of content anymore.

We don't use brake drums anymore though, not nearly as much anymore anyways. But it shouldn't be easy to remove the brakes either, because that means they can fall apart easily too :P

At a time when the Soviet Union was still, the 1980 Olympics were held in Moscow, and then all the USSR shops had quality products from Finland, from butter, to sausage and fish. Even rebrand cigarettes of famous companies were from Finland. It was a major contract for the supply of products from Finland. Western countries refused to help Moscow and supply quality products and goods during the Olympics. Only the German company adidas agreed to supply equipment and clothing, and they also built their factory in Moscow for the production of sportswear and sneakers. I was very young then and first met delicious finnish products)) But I am not from Russia, my country is called Belarus.

Not only was it common practice to use the shop air to blow the dust off the backing plate , go into an auto parts store in the 1960's and 1970's . After your drums were cut , they put the brake shoes in a device that matched the curve of the shoe to the drum . The shoes were arced by passing them by a rotating cylinder with friction material that ground them down . This created a HUGE amount of asbestos dust when ground down to size . It allowed the shoes to contact the drum more closely after a brake replacement without waiting for them to wear in and have a spongy or soft brake pedal . This would give you a better " pedal " and less stopping distance . I can't imagine the large volume of dust inhaled by people that did this all day long in that era . How many lung cancer cases were related to this ?
Funny enough I have a 2017 Holden (Chevy) Spark with brake drums like this at the rear. Lots of cars still have drums at the rear, makes sense as this reduces cost, maintenance costs and the front brakes do most of the work anyway.

Seeing how disc brakes didn't arrive until the early 1950s, these Chevy brakes were pretty much "state of the art" for their time.

I love how he says "mechanical" as even today all we get (popularly) is hydraulic disc breaks, as the electric ones lack the 'feel' of engagement. If it wasn't mechanical, what else could he say engaged the drum brakes? I'm really wondering
I like watching these videos it helps me understand how my 57 Chevy works
This reminds me of my friend sneed. Bought a feed and seed shop from my brother Chuck.
Notice how Chevrolet drivers drive so recklessly? Good brakes is the reason!
Switch your punctuation around and you got yourself a statement!
Steven Pham Ah, the good ol’ switcharoo
1:19 i am surprised by the traffic
me too
My...such a sense of urgency and dramatic display of hi-tech I think I’m going to go buy myself a brand new 1934 Chevrolet
I love the 'degree of perfection' comment about their drum brakes :)
my left ear learned a lot today
Your headphones are the cause. I have audio out both sides.
@@coletrickle1775 your headphones are probably playing out mono audio, which combines the left and right tracks. the video has the audio panned all the way to the left for whatever reason
@@coletrickle1775 i actually don't know why its only happening to a few ppl lol
My old car still has these brakes. Yes, also leaf springs on the rear wheels 👍😉
You have Zhiguli?
@@nicostenfors5690
Zhiguli, there is no such machine. There is a car "Жигули" and the same car in the west is called - LADA. And I have a "Москвич" - Moskvich. There on the rear wheels are the same brake pads and modern disc brakes in front. Even this machine has powerful leaf springs, so this machine can withstand 1000 kg of load.
@@user-wt9ru8cm9d Moskvich is nice car. Im from Finland so i know what Lada is.
@@nicostenfors5690
From Finland ? Wow, Finland is a good country, in Finland produce good quality products. I, for example, knew the Nokia company long before the phones were made there. I love fishing and we sold fishing boots Nokia )). And you probably don’t know. At a time when the Soviet Union was still, the 1980 Olympics were held in Moscow, and then all the USSR shops had quality products from Finland, from butter, to sausage and fish. Even rebrand cigarettes of famous companies were from Finland. It was a major contract for the supply of products from Finland. Western countries refused to help Moscow and supply quality products and goods during the Olympics. Only the German company adidas agreed to supply equipment and clothing, and they also built their factory in Moscow for the production of sportswear and sneakers. I was very young then and first met delicious finnish products)) But I am not from Russia, my country is called Belarus. Yes, and the Moskvich car was never considered good by us, it was just the cheapest sedan and they were badly turned on in the winter. And the LADA ВАЗ - 2106 was considered the most reliable and reliable machine in the USSR
lol i love how when the cartoon arm pulls the lever it all of a sudden get shredded. good attention to detail tho i really enjoy watching these!!
Here I am at 1 in the morning watching what I think is a advertisement and documentary love child.
I love cadmium and asbestos. And corrosion in mechanical brakes. :)
cadmium coating is better than zinc, coz cadmium do not react with sodium-like substance (like soap and others basic cleansing agents).
gay
And the next video i watched was Hydraulics Brake system by Chevrolet 😂😂😂 they upgraded within 2 years
Thanks for making me check my right speaker in panic. Great video and thanks for sharing btw.
I love these old videos. Brings the commen sense back into practical application.
How is it this is more educational than most of my high-school years.
If only modern day physics explanations were as clear as this I might pass my exams xD but instead now the only exam I'll pass is one about 1930's Chevrolet cars from all these advertisements XD
Love the way this is explained
when ads were bearable, funny, and educational to watch:
"Facts on Friction".. Brought to you by KY Jelly..
Not only was it common practice to use the shop air to blow the dust off the backing plate , go into an auto parts store in the 1960's and 1970's . After your drums were cut , they put the brake shoes in a device that matched the curve of the shoe to the drum . The shoes were arced by passing them by a rotating cylinder with friction material that ground them down . This created a HUGE amount of asbestos dust when ground down to size . It allowed the shoes to contact the drum more closely after a brake replacement without waiting for them to wear in and have a spongy or soft brake pedal . This would give you a better " pedal " and less stopping distance . I can't imagine the large volume of dust inhaled by people that did this all day long in that era . How many lung cancer cases were related to this ?
My left ear enjoyed this a lot
haha wow, I need to sleep... I have been watching these for too long now.
"What could be safer?" A power assisted hydraulic drum/disk combo
They had no idea about Disc brake back then. Well they kinda had but mass production of them was not an option. It began many years later in 1955.
Yup. I'm convinced. My next car will be a Chevrolet.
Holy shit I actually learned a lot about drum brakes from this
GMs' contribution in automotive evolution is really great.
In 2019 this shit is STILL awesome. All those lovely cars.
"This is a chevrolei hweel"
This video was so good my right ear phone broke
Thanks for sharing all this know-how to the Japanese!!
Now we have ABS with hydraulically controlled braking systems with insane pad materials, calipers and rotor designs. We've come quite a way from 1934.
yes, only the most premium asbestos for Chevrolet.
Funny enough I have a 2017 Holden (Chevy) Spark with brake drums like this at the rear. Lots of cars still have drums at the rear, makes sense as this reduces cost, maintenance costs and the front brakes do most of the work anyway.
Amazing, thanks a lot
