Views of a U.S. Polaris submarine. Interior of the submarine. Crew in various compartments and control rooms of the submarine. Supervisors and crewmembers wear radio headphones to coordinate their activities..Crew employ procedural check lists as they accomplish coordinated actions. Two officers stand, holding railings
Missile chamber of submerged Polaris submarine is opened and huge amount of steam and foam is seen as missile emerges. The missile rises rapidly and breaks the surface if the sea, creating a large cascade of water. The missile races skyward, with intense rocket fire behind, and disappears through the clouds.
Underwater view of missile being launched from a U.S. Polaris submarine. Huge amount of bubbles, foam and steam form around the missile as it emerges from the submarine firing tube. Missile breaks surface of sea, shrouded in water, foam and steam. Cascading foam reaches the camera and completely covers lens.
Polaris submarine, with some crew members on deck, cruises on surface into harbor, where it is met by tug boats, which manuever it along a river. several people watch from the shore. Tugs move the submarine close to a pier, under a large derrick. A crewman throws a line from the sub to the pier. Then the submarine is made fast with several lines.
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.
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.
