Produced in 1958 by Jam Handy Organization (and sponsored by the Chevrolet division of General Motors), “In Appreciation Of Stylist Of America” is a Technicolor film that documents automotive, industrial, interior, and architectural design from the last truly great era of American design. An opening crawl explains that purpose, to pay tribute to men and women who work in the design industry — those “who work in lines, forms and textures, and colors to give to us beauty, charm, and elegance in the conveniences, comforts, and necessities of our daily living.” A "tribute to the American stylist," American Look shows families at leisure, children dressed in cowboy and cowgirl outfits watching television, a father shooting home movies of his picnicking family, modern 1950s home interiors graced by formally dressed models, furniture (including designs by Herman Miller), kitchens and kitchen equipment, packaging (including designs by Donald Deskey), appliances, textiles, offices and office furniture, office machines, industrial machines, lawn mowers and sprinklers, domestic and institutional architecture, people at leisure and enjoying recreation, children playing baseball, a mother and child in a transparent rowboat being observed by the snorkeling father, automobile styling and design and the work of the design staff of the new General Motors Technical Center at Warren, Michigan. The story behind the design of the 1959 Chevrolet Impala is shown, with dramatized moments in the design and modeling process. The film lumps industrial, interior and product design efforts together as "styling," and characterizes them as responses by industry to insistent consumer demands for the most modern products and environment. During the last third of this twenty-eight-minute film, it becomes clear that it was produced to celebrate modern design as exemplified in the "look" of the 1959 Chevrolets, the year that tail fins stretched to their greatest extent.<p><p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

Created by the Shell Oil Company as a public service, this wonderful film explains the operation and mechanics of a gas turbine engine, and show modern jet and turboprop engines in use in the aviation industry. Includes terrific views of early types of jet engines and components including compressors, fans, combustion chambers, and so on. At the 13 minute mark a variety of other uses for the turbine engine are shown including for power generation, fire fighting, marine propulsion, gas turbine locomotives, and more. A prototype gas turbine car known as the Firebird is also shown at the 13:30 mark, probably at the Motorama, and at 15:40. <p><p>The General Motors Firebird is a quartet of prototype cars designed by Harley Earl, and engineered by General Motors for the 1953, 1956 and 1959 Motorama auto shows. They were very much inspired by innovations in fighter aircraft design at the time. None of the designs were intended for production, but instead were to showcase the extremes in technology and design that General Motors was able to achieve. The cars were recently placed on display at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, and still make regular car show appearances.<p><p>The name "Firebird" was also used by the Pontiac division of General Motors for the line of pony cars, which has no direct relation to the concept cars.<p><p>The film includes footage of the prototype Boeing 707 aircraft in flight at the 15:30 mark.<p><p>The Wood River, Illinois facility of Shell Oil is also shown at the 15 minute mark, where jet fuels were exhaustively studied. <p><p>A gas turbine, also called a combustion turbine, is a type of internal combustion engine. It has an upstream rotating compressor coupled to a downstream turbine, and a combustion chamber in between.<p><p>The basic operation of the gas turbine is similar to that of the steam power plant except that air is used instead of water. Fresh atmospheric air flows through a compressor that brings it to higher pressure. Energy is then added by spraying fuel into the air and igniting it so the combustion generates a high-temperature flow. This high-temperature high-pressure gas enters a turbine, where it expands down to the exhaust pressure, producing a shaft work output in the process. The turbine shaft work is used to drive the compressor and other devices such as an electric generator that may be coupled to the shaft. The energy that is not used for shaft work comes out in the exhaust gases, so these have either a high temperature or a high velocity. The purpose of the gas turbine determines the design so that the most desirable energy form is maximized. Gas turbines are used to power aircraft, trains, ships, electrical generators, or even tanks.<p><p>Airbreathing jet engines are gas turbines optimized to produce thrust from the exhaust gases, or from ducted fans connected to the gas turbines. Jet engines that produce thrust from the direct impulse of exhaust gases are often called turbojets, whereas those that generate thrust with the addition of a ducted fan are often called turbofans or (rarely) fan-jets.<p><p>Gas turbines are also used in many liquid propellant rockets, the gas turbines are used to power a turbopump to permit the use of lightweight, low pressure tanks, which saves considerable dry mass.<p><p>Turboprop engines[edit]<p>A turboprop engine is a type of turbine engine which drives an external aircraft propeller using a reduction gear. Turboprop engines are generally used on small subsonic aircraft, but some large military and civil aircraft, such as the Airbus A400M, Lockheed L-188 Electra and Tupolev Tu-95, have also used turboprop power.<p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

I was born and raised in Cuba and I'm very proud that they are doing this. It's the first time this is being done and it's very exciting because over there we see it every day, but here they have a harder time maintaining the bikes in order to hold these events.

Tilt up from front fender with picture of Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara STORYLINE: Hundreds of Harley-Davidson motorcycle enthusiasts descended upon Cuba's renowned Varadero Beach on Saturday for a first-ever national event in the Communist state involving the classic American motorcycles. Dubbed the "1st National Concentration of Harley Davidson Motors of Cuba", the two-day festival opened to crowds of fans whom travelled from all corners of the island to Varadero's downtown district in order to see first-hand the classic bikes. "I was born and raised in Cuba and I'm very proud that they are doing this. It's the first time this is being done and it's very exciting because over there we see it every day, but here they have a harder time maintaining the bikes in order to hold these events," said Juan Carlos, a Cuban ex-pat and Harley enthusiast who now lives in the US. Events of this sort are new to Cuba where most large outdoor gatherings are reserved for political rallies and cultural events more to the liking of the ageing Communist leadership. On Saturday, however, this touristy beach resort took on a new role in what many are saying is a different and changing Cuba. During Saturday's biker festival, Harley-Davidson motorcycles, mostly from the 1940's and 50's, roared on the streets of this generally quiet resort town. According to national vehicles registrations in Cuba, there are approximately 200 vintage Harley-Davidsons on the island. Many owners belong to an informal club and are affectionately referred to as the "Harlistas". Harley-Davidsons began arriving on the island in the 1920's and by the 40's were the official motorcycle of the Cuban police and army. The newest models to arrive at Saturday's show had been manufactured in the 1950s and 60s - the communist revolution in 1959 resulted in a vast reduction in American imports. The US has maintained a 50-year trade embargo against Cuba, and has demanded political and economic openings before it lifts the sanctions. Cuban leaders say the embargo is cruel, and that America has no business telling them what kind of government they should have. President Raul Castro has in recent months instituted sweeping economic changes designed to inject a measure of capitalism into Cuba's tottering socialist economy. The changes have been met with lukewarm approval in Washington, where officials have said they would like to see evidence of more concrete action.
