Basic principles of torsion bar suspension used on army track vehicles are explained in the United States.
Explanation of the basic principles of torsion bar suspension. The vehicle suspension uses a torsion bar as the main weight bearing spring. United States tank destroyer 3-inch Gun Motor Carriage (GMC) M10 and 76 mm Gun Motor Carriage M-18 tank destroyer move along an uneven terrain. M-10 uses spring type suspension and M-18 uses torsion bar suspension. A man uses a model to describe the principles of torsion bar suspension used on army track vehicles. He uses a plain piece and a simple model for demonstration of principles. The bar's torsion resistance is demonstrated. Torsion bar and suspension bar are explained by the model.
A Gun Motor Carriage M-18 is partially disassembled to show the various units of the suspension system in the United States.
Basic principles of torsion bar suspension used on army track vehicles are explained in the United States. United States tank destroyer 76 mm Gun Motor Carriage M-18 is partially disassembled to show the various units of the suspension system. Several mechanics remove the weight from torsion bar and lift the wheels. The vehicle suspension uses a torsion bar as the main weight bearing spring. Torsion bar and suspension arm in view. The spindles, shock absorbers, bumpers and compression links in view. A man points at the torsion bar retainer.
Manufacture and deployment of Boeing B-29 Super Fortress bombers during World War II
Film beginning shows a line of Indian women carrying large wooden bowls on their heads as they walk past a line of Boeing B-29 Super Fortress bombers parked on an airfield ramp in India during World War 2. A B-29 bomber descends and lands on the airfield runway. Scene shifts to the Boeing factory at Wichita, Kansas, where most of the aircraft were manufactured during World War 2. (They were also made by Bell Aircraft Company in Atlanta (Marietta), Georgia, and by the Glenn L. Martin Company in Omaha, Nebraska.) In the Wichita plant, a large room filled with B-29s under construction is seen. A line of women uses hand power tools to finish aircraft parts. A large section of a B-29, including landing gear and tires, moves by overhead crane to be mated with another section in an assembly operation. Men manually push a landing gear with tires installed, along a floor. Workers walk along underneath an assembled B-29 as it is towed out of the factory. Tail view of a B-29 with engines running. View of man working on a B-29 tail rudder. Wing flaps being lowered in function check. Scene shifts, again, this time to China, where a line of B-29s is seen on a ramp at a secret base. A jeep drives under the left wing of a parked B-29, guarded by an armed Chinese sentry. Chinese laborers work with hand tools to make a ditch to drain water from the airfield ramp. Chinese workers unload and roll 55 gallon drums of gasoline for aircraft fueling. A Chinese name (Ding How!)painted on the fuselage of a B-29. Major General Claire Chennault shakes hands with some of a B-29s crew as they prepare to depart on a bombing mission. A Chinese soldier gives the crew a "thumbs up" sendoff. The B-29 takes off on the mission. a group of airmen sit atop a B-29 to watch the takeoffs. Camera focuses on another takeoff and then shows a B-29 aloft, glinting in sunlight and then cruising above clouds. Glimpse of B-29 flying over snow covered mountains (possibly in Japan).
