This classic 16mm Coronet film takes us into the modern world of go carts, barrel rides, rotary phones, and hand powered wood drills. Yes, without wheels our lives would be just dragging things around. Some enhancement was required to maximize your viewing experience. Enjoy!

    Looks like Fran
    finally found a movie with no copy rights… I wasn't even 1 year old when this movie was produced…

    A fun trip down memory lane.
    Thanks for the color correction work, much more funner-er to revisit my childhood in color instead of mono-pink.

    I've often wondered that myself. How DO wheels?

    That was interesting. To the point. Tis true, wheels make it easier. Wheels on sliding doors and windows being examples. On a side note, during the late 70s, my primary school (Australia) had stacked cable drums (of various sizes ) for us to play around on.

    "How do wheels? A wheel rolls, and things that roll are easy!"

    Wisdom in.

    After slaving away in a distant quarry for 3 months, Paleo Pete finally called the tribe in to show of his handiwork.

    โ€œLook guys! Look at my invention! I call it the wheel, and its gonna change the course of history!โ€

    โ€œYeah, yeah, sure Pete. How are we gonna get it home?โ€

    Seeing the wheel in the thumbnail, I was hoping to see you skateboarding. ( I lived through my sons and now grandsons skateboarding with my nerves frazzled.) I love your scientific and eclectic videos!

    I need wheels on an electric trike & this video helped me very minimally.

    I still have a rotary phone and a manual hand mixer.

    Thanks Fran! I don't suppose you have anything from NASA about urethane? A youth skateboarding always believed that NASA was behind the wheels we rode.

    Boy, does this bring back memories! Nothing like a Coronet film. I watched countless of these in my elementary school auditorium on Thursdays in the late 60โ€™s.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Haakon Anderson says:

    Even though this was long ago, they were definitely loved
