Jamieson Handy was an educational film producer in 1930s America, who mostly revealed the inner workings of things mechanical, like automotive gearboxes, differentials, fuel systems and so on. In this black and white video, enhanced from his vintage 1935 series, Handy looks at the development of suspension systems, and what affect they had on a vehicle’s dynamics. It’s basically a long commercial for Chevrolet, produced when the carmaker’s independent ‘knee-action’ coil-spring front suspension was truly state-of-the-art.
