Back then, cameras and all that were huge, cumbersome, expensive, not easy to operate. Commercials used to be big productions. Animation? Graphics? You can google all that nowadays, and there's probably tutorials.

      It's the principle of how stuff works what a learning person needs to know.

      Even rear wheel drive trucks have changed significantly from solid front axles, to early independent axles that would eat tires, to independent front suspension that maintains geometry. And even the springs have changed significantly from leaf sprung front suspension, to coil srung, to torsion bar and then eventually struts

      I don't think there was sexism in that sentence, you see, the wife isn't an engineer, that's why the wife said "i'm your wife, not your ingeneer friends" then the hubs said that eveb you can understand this, i think he meant that even though she's not an engineer, she can understand this.... then again it is the 1950's.
