The National Association of Manufacturing has been posting a weekly video for over two years that shows how things are made. This is a great way to learn new information while being entertained. Some of their past topics are linked below:

The series has been going on for over two years which means there are well over 100 videos available.

    Though not available on the web (to my knowledge), readers interested in this series might also get a kick out of a show on the Discovery Channel called “How It’s Made”. Each 30-minute episode has four 5-minute shorts detailing the manufacture of some item.

    How is four front wheel steering: 1.configured, and then,

    2.adjusted: caster, camber, toe-in, Ackerman principle?

    Thank you.

    Was it Tyrell that used four front wheel steering on its Formula One cars for a time?

    The cars appeared to be unaffected by this design. I seem to remember that they did no better, but not any worse.
