That was I was in the Phila PD Highway Patrol unit in the 70`s & we had a drill team like that. They still do, & it`s still to watch these officers ride.

Great, and BTW my Grandpa was doing those motorcycle stunts in his 60's in the 1970'and 1980's It was hilarious to see the old man with white hair doing motorcycle stunts.

That's a great piece of vintage film!!! One of the best explanations of differential principles I've seen yet!

Thanks for bringing it here!

Thanks for sharing!!! I always understood the purpose of the diff, but I never understood how it works until now! And the film was old school so it made it 10X better!
Im guessing when we talk about changing gear ratios, we are changing the big toothed wheel and the little one that connects to the drive shaft?

Now, how does positracion work?
