This is how teaching videos should be. No posing for the camera, no talks about how "you" run "your classroom." Just straight info, clear demonstrations, with comprehensive "comparing, & contrasting," of good & bad welds. Perfect.
Why are these old instructional films so much better than anything today? Same with textbooks, get an old ICS textbook and its vastly superior than anything today, and without all the computer technology today.
Totally agree! I've found many old black-n-white (no colour) soviet videos (manuals, science, etc) which not just better than modern videos full of best computer graphics... They are can't be compared at all!
Simple answer is that video production cost was very high - film, professionals, expensive cameras, artists for graphics etc.. Such instructional videos were produced only by seriously capable institutions (army, government, large corporations) that had already invested a lot of money and effort in the video production that they had to also get the best experts on the subject.
A lot of videos in the 40s were like this nothing flashy but you appreciated the value. A different social structure in those days. Seriously a lot of videos in that time had a very informative man in the video.
Such interesting lessons! I gotta say, those arc shots and demos are simply amazing and in depth. I also find it interesting how wide that weld pool is for that size of rod/weld, and how there was a change of angle to "mitigate arc blow" but I recall that arc blow is associated with DC machines and welders specially use AC to avoid it. Straight up have to love this video. So nostalgic and informative
I think this was back in the days when they didn't have filter lenses for eye protection. They used a clear piece of glass and held it over a lit candle until the glass got dark and used it to weld with, and a lot of welders went blind by the time they were 30 years old.
I have watched numerous UA-cam videos on welding ,this one I found most helpful with simple explanation for the beginners like me ,which is in a nutshell ,unlike other videos which are confusing
Better then any video out there today??? You must not watch Wed.com Or "Welding tips and tricks" with Jody. They both have awesome arc shots. This is a great film for sure, I love it, Not even close to the quality on the two channels I mentioned. Just saying. Jim
One of the best welding video ever. I am Brazilian and got surprised with teaching qualities and the use of a cristal clear English language which was lost today. You may figure how difficult is for a foreigner to understand today's pronounce, track and entonation. The world lost its qualities.
Just started home training on stick welding and can't believe the clarity of both picture and technique directions this video gives ...1942! Must have been a great year for welders lol!
Thank you for uploading this. Amazing to see how while the basics are nearly the same, the process itself has evolved slightly. I've always made the 2nd pass on the bottom to give a shelf for the third above it. Never the less, amazing video!
I wish I saw this video when I first got my powerarc. It would have saved me quite a few hours practicing and finding out how not to do things. Great old video.
As a matter of fact we watched 1940's and 1950's welding instructional videos, just like this one, for 3 weeks before we even went to the work shop to get our hands on a stinger... reminds me of welding school
This is really a good instructional video. The camera quality is a lot better than the new phone videos for quality of view. I wish it was AC welding because my machine is about that old.
Amazing....couldn't find a good video for this and then this vintage movie shows and explains it all as if I were in a 50's classroom....thank you very much
Lincoln built those SA machines that had 2 dials on them. They were tube shaped on 4 wheels. They were and still are the most bitchen machines. They say they are super expensive to make and that's why they don't make them anymore. They also require a lot of skill in getting them adjusted right. Teaching the art of SMAW you cannot beat the arc shots and simplicity of these videos. Thanks for uploading them.
My great uncle grew up sharecropping with my grandfather. He moved to Cincinnati in the early 50’s, lied about knowing how to weld, and became an award winning welder at GE that worked on jet engines
In 1959, SA200, Old School Welder taught me in the oil fields back then. He had a way of doing it that's worked for me all these years. Old School is the way. He'd been welding since 1940.
Amazing shots of the arc for its time. Most videos cannot accomplish this now! I also find it interesting that this is in colour. Do you think it was upgraded later on, or was it filmed in colour?
I wish i could find more old movies like this. I have seen also "Around The Corner - How Differential Steering Works (1937)". The same good examples, the same simplicity, why it's wrong to teach like this today? All of sceenes are so simple and clear, without computer simulations.
This cleared up a bit of trouble I was having with terminating the weld. Everyone talks about it like its some shit that takes 20 years to master. I think I can begin to start and stop the weld pool properly now.
I want to learn how to mig weld better and then move to stick welding once I order my PowerMTS 250S. It is amazing how such an old film has so much useful information even today.
I found that 76 years old video becomes very useful even today in 2018. I wish we could have the 2018 version please let us know if you have any of that :D
What I 've said got nothing to do with you and moreover, it's just a blessing for the owner of the video. because I appreciate that their work. and what I did is just asking them or giving them some suggestions for a better one.
In 1942 he believed that the welding was very rudimentary, because the welding current was not well filtered, and the range of electrodes was very small, leading as I observe it was more a supertitle. However, I like it because there is a quality standard.
Missing the link between first sentence and last. English is the spoken language but that's an American narrator and instructional film. Given that it is 1942 and U.S industry probably had to deal with severe shortage of skilled welders, films of a technical nature would have been pumped out to deal with the demand in skilling up people, quickly. This instructional is sponsored by General Electric.
Second pass was done wrong. Once you lay down your first pass then the next pass wont go on top of first pass it will actually start at the toe of the first pass, then the final pass will start at the top of the second pass. Sounds confusing but that's how I have always done it and weld looks uniformed and blends well.. let me know if you agree.

When you learn more in 10 minutes than in hours of welding videos. This vid is old but pure gold.
so true
1942 and still one of the best videos ive seen
Even in russian youtube nothing worthy

I totally agree.
Check out the YT channels PublicResourceOrg andJeff Quitney

My friend, where is new video by that "serios institutions" at least the same educational quality?

Whole new appreciation for welders. Truly an art.
I think this was back in the days when they didn't have filter lenses for eye protection. They used a clear piece of glass and held it over a lit candle until the glass got dark and used it to weld with, and a lot of welders went blind by the time they were 30 years old.

These old videos are more straight forward and informative than the new ones
These old vidoes are really good they get straight to the point no excessive chit chat
I'm amazed!!! The arc shots are so much better than any modern welding training video
I was just thinking the same thing...a very solid piece of work, this film.
Indeed
Better then any video out there today??? You must not watch Wed.com
Or "Welding tips and tricks" with Jody. They both have awesome arc shots.

learnt more here than the current arc welding videos
Straight to the point, no bullshit 👌
these old films get right to the point and dont add any fluff like you get today in welding videos
Absolutely the best welding vid I've seen. The attention to detail and thoroughness is so far ahead of the kind of thought put into modern media.
This is really a good instructional video. The camera quality is a lot better than the new phone videos for quality of view. I wish it was AC welding because my machine is about that old.
I watched about of many welding videos ... but this one is the better ... no this is best... i learn much...
Older videos are showing better instructions than nowdays videos
From 1942 and better then any modern video
I'm a welding newby and this film makes it look very easy. Thx for the upload.
Amazing....couldn't find a good video for this and then this vintage movie shows and explains it all as if I were in a 50's classroom....thank you very much
what fantastic arc shots , as good as anything folk can get today , infact a lot better than most ,,,,,, amazing how little has changed

One of the best lessons I've ever seen.
noticed than they use incredible technic to shoot welding, with very wide dynamic range.
Awsome video, thanks for uploading. Keep this vintage instructional footage coming!
Sooooooooooo informative! The year is 2020 as I watch..
The best welding video I watched...
This is so old and yet very informative I like it
In a word----> Old is Gold ;)
Обалденно. А ведь Голливуд снимал.
А самое интересное, что электроды и инструменты точно такие же как сейчас!
This film reminds me of the videos they showed us when I was in welding school in the Army 83/84.
Prob best welding video I've seen. I'm defo saving this and showing the tutor
In 1959, SA200, Old School Welder taught me in the oil fields back then. He had a way of doing it that's worked for me all these years. Old School is the way. He'd been welding since 1940.
Excellent video that is still true today. Jody at Welding Tips and Tricks does a great job as well.
It's because of Jody that I ended up buying an Everlast welder and am taking up welding! Jody is one of the best.
I have been practicing stick welding with my PowerArc welder and this video has been very helpful. Thanks
best welding video ever
Awesome old video. Sometime they are the best!! Well explained!
After i watched that video, i got the courage to have one... Now I'm good at it... Thanks...
wish there was more videos like this
Thanks. I never thought i have to watch from -42 for guide ....
I love how they talked back then
He sounds like Lee Stoneking . UA-cam him 👋
I passed my EN-287-1 15 years ago, 1st time I've seen this and it's good - we all keep learining!
Best arc shots on youtube.
That's damn clean than the latest ones tbh
one of the best tips for welding
great video straight to the point and very informative can help alot for those who are learning to weld
Best arc welding vid on here
B Stevermer espiron juste
Thank You for this video. This is very important film about welding for me.
Classic footage. And so to the point.
Awesome! Straight forward knowledge from 1942.
This was a great Video!!! Old School for sure!!!!
Thats a great vídeo, and it tells you the basics of welding in a few steps, awesome😳
General electric made the best welding films I ever saw
Nice video!!! Very informative
Some of the "expert welders" in YT should watch this before giving lessons... just saying.
Amazing shots of the arc for its time. Most videos cannot accomplish this now! I also find it interesting that this is in colour. Do you think it was upgraded later on, or was it filmed in colour?
I miss stick welding with my powerarc welder now. Bit of a pain to learn but pretty fun once mastered.
Good video even though it is so old. It is still applicable for my new everlast inverter welder.
I love how he scratches his head but do it on his helmet
I learned from this in 2014.
I learned something today thank you this is been the best video so far

Wow, great video! thanks for uploading.
Great video, wow!
Awesome result of video and awesome description got to much of this ..
well done, this is what u call teaching
old but gold!!!!!
I want to learn how to mig weld better and then move to stick welding once I order my PowerMTS 250S. It is amazing how such an old film has so much useful information even today.
This video quality & age makes me feel like I'm back in middle school 😂
One of the most complex welding methods. Take a lot of time to excel
I found that 76 years old video becomes very useful even today in 2018. I wish we could have the 2018 version please let us know if you have any of that :D
thanks you have said what was in your mind but what have you done to show to the world or your your once
Don't just say stupid thing to other if you dont truly know who they really are okay ?
What I 've said got nothing to do with you and moreover, it's just a blessing for the owner of the video. because I appreciate that their work. and what I did is just asking them or giving them some suggestions for a better one.
Very good stuff... Great Info!
i wish my welding mask lens was as clear as them arc shots .. very clear

thank you, it’s very useful video
clear and simple, old school
that's just nice. thank you
Gramaje es una palabra que aprendí en la prestigiosa escuela de Arte de Algeciras

Thanks for upload this video. I just love it.

Retro baby!!!
Definitely a useful film
excellent video
Old good video. I liked !
Great video 😃👍
thankyou, very very informative.
Now I understand how it works! ^^
