I liked that a lot. These old US training videos are surprisingly good - I found one a while ago which explained the principles behind mechanical Naval fire control computers used on pre-WW2/WW2 warships and learned a lot about gearing/differentials/etc from that.

 :notworthy: Amazing. Simply amazing.

If only school taught kids stuff like this, maybe fewer of them would want to be popstar failures.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
