00:00 Well, trust me, Papa, can it be your intention

00:03 To back your chappers over nothing more than a wheel?

00:05 Your brain is all tied up in a sling

00:08 To think a wheel is such a great thing

00:10 Well, you young whippersnapper, you name me a better invention

00:14 Stintville, Daddy-o, try this for size

00:17 A like that don't you think the era claimed to be graven?

00:20 Why, without the old wheel, that thing would just go to pot

00:22 But the motor car? Now that was no second rate

00:25 But take away the wheel and that invention is gone

00:28 There's not a single thing you can find

00:31 That ever did as much for mankind

00:34 Look here, Pop, you must be in the wrong scene

00:36 Not me

00:37 Let me toss some more examples at you

00:39 The typewriter

00:41 Wheel

00:41 The steam engine

00:42 Wheel

00:43 The anti-whipping cotton gin

00:44 Wheel, wheel, wheel

00:45 The sewing machine

00:46 Wheel

00:47 The washing machine

00:48 Wheel

00:48 Never knew so many things depended on wheels

00:51 And you can keep on naming them, son

00:54 But there's a wheel in every last one

00:57 So come on, Junior, let's go back through the ages

01:00 Way back in the days that I can hardly recall

01:02 And watch what happened through the various stages

01:05 Begin from the time when there were no wheels at all

01:08 Now tell me, who are we going to meet on this deal?

01:10 Why, the inventor, son

01:12 The inventor?

01:13 Yes, the inventor of the wheel

01:19 Oh, fine, I'd love to meet him

01:25 Ah, now then, Junior, looks like our boy there

01:28 Hey, look, no wheels

01:30 Pop, well, I declare he don't look like an inventor to me

01:33 Quiet, Junior, just watch and see

01:35 See? Life was a struggle in the prehistoric age

01:38 Yes, you'll note, Junior, man was in his bare essential state

01:43 Food was scarce and clothes were few

01:45 And I see there was a housing shortage, too

01:51 Ah-ha, now we come to the part where the whole idea gets its start

01:55 Hey, buddy, wake up

01:56 Turn around, here's your big chance to be world-renowned

02:00 A chance?

02:01 Sure, draw up that idea

02:03 That's it, good, study it

02:07 Now then, is it understood?

02:09 No

02:10 Uh-uh

02:11 What is it?

02:12 Why, that's a wheel like the one you've just seen

02:14 What do I do with it?

02:16 What do we do with it? Hey, use your beans

02:18 Think of the possibilities, where's your vision?

02:21 This is no moment for indecision

02:23 So, the wheel's just an idea

02:27 Oh, no, boy, no

02:29 That use of the wheel is hardly apropos

02:31 Go on and roll it, boy, roll it down the hill

02:35 Wait, I'll do it

02:36 I'm sure you will

02:38 Kazoo, Pop, this cat is really nowhere

02:41 In some circles we'd call him square

02:43 Well, he's pretty slow, Junior, but don't be upset

02:47 Hey, boy, you haven't got it yet

02:49 What?

02:51 Hey, who are you two guys?

02:53 Why, we're the Spirits of Progress

02:55 And we advise you to pay some undivided attention

02:58 While we help you with your great invention

03:01 Listen, and we'll show you how

03:03 How what?

03:05 How to... well, just follow us now

03:08 Find yourself a log, and here's what you do

03:11 Slice off a slice, yeah, better make it two

03:14 Attach those slices to your sled

03:17 Hey, pull it, boy

03:19 Go ahead

03:21 Now, young man, right here you decide

03:24 Why should you pull when you can ride?

03:27 You better add sides to this knockabout

03:30 So you and your possessions won't fall out

03:33 Okay, driver, you know how

03:36 Say, lookie there, he's making progress now

03:39 Man's first wheels were heavy and quill

03:42 Better wheels were soon to appear

03:45 When the Egyptians came

03:46 What'd they do?

03:47 They made real progress

03:49 How do you like those Egyptians?

03:52 Early Greeks advanced the wheel more

03:55 Light and fast as never before

03:57 And then the Romans came

03:59 And what did they do?

04:00 And they made progress

04:02 Oh, those Romans

04:03 Soon there were work carts

04:05 Mail carts, strong carts, trail carts

04:07 Carriages and gates

04:10 Wagons, chaise, and cabarets

04:13 And all kinds of rigs

04:16 Transportation vastly improved

04:20 On those wheels how everything moved

04:23 People were traveling

04:24 They were going

04:25 On wheels of progress

04:27 [Cheers and applause]

04:37 Hoorah!

04:39 Now, another phase, Junior

04:42 Taking good advantage of steam

04:45 Out of someone's wonderful dream

04:48 The locomotive came

04:49 What for?

04:50 To add to progress

04:52 Is it absent?

04:54 Plankets on each rim of the wheel

04:58 Rolled along on ribbons of steel

05:01 Known as the railroad tracks

05:02 Flickety-clack

05:03 And tracks of progress

05:05 Progress?

05:06 Those trains got bigger, stronger

05:09 And much longer

05:10 Faster, too, of course

05:13 Finally, man found that he could

05:17 Outrun a horse

05:20 Distances got shorter somehow

05:23 Lots of boats were traveling by

05:26 And it was all aboard

05:28 On wheels of progress

05:31 [Cheers and applause]

05:40 Ha!

05:41 Now, the next phase, Junior

05:44 One day, man cried "blankety-blank"

05:47 While he grimly twisted a crank

05:50 But when the engine caught

05:52 Watch it now

05:53 He made light work

05:55 Get a horse

05:57 Rubber tires inflated with air

06:00 Wheels were truly going somewhere

06:04 And it was fun to be

06:06 To be what?

06:07 In stride with progress

06:09 Good old progress

06:10 Soon roads were two lanes, four lanes

06:13 More and more lanes

06:14 Man sure took to wheels

06:17 Highways crammed and freeways jammed

06:20 With automobiles

06:24 Year by year, increasing the pace

06:27 Everyone got into the race

06:29 It was the motor age

06:31 Who's at track?

06:32 On wheels of progress

06:34 [Music]

06:51 Fire!

06:52 [Tires screeching]

06:56 I'm running out of gas

06:58 Good-bye

06:59 What'd he say, Junior?

07:00 He implies he'd rather be a pedestrian, Pops

07:03 Now, boys, that's a negative sound

07:06 Let's get back to the problem at hand

07:08 [Music]

07:11 Almost two million years, man endures

07:13 Waiting for that great invention of yours

07:15 Your big gas can?

07:17 Yes, lad

07:18 And don't you doubt it

07:19 Why, even now, you couldn't live without it

07:22 Awesome!

07:23 I'd go inside without it

07:25 No, no, my friend

07:27 On this round earth you've been spinning since your birth

07:30 Round and round on a wheel like that

07:32 Don't tell me the earth is round

07:35 Pops, don't you know what Columbus proved?

07:38 Son, this boy is way back

07:40 Millenniums removed

07:42 Then, uh, let's fill him in and set him straight

07:44 Yeah, say, Junior, why don't you elucidate?

07:47 Crazy!

07:50 Well, Swinger, here's the bit

07:52 Now, the globe spins like a wheel

07:54 You can quote what I say

07:56 One full turn knocks off one full day

08:01 Now, to check out the moon

08:03 The fact we face is

08:04 It swings around the earth on a monthly basis

08:10 Both Luna and Terra Firma

08:12 They cut around the sun

08:14 And dig this

08:15 It takes a year to get that done

08:19 It's like, man, a natural timer

08:21 One of those deals where nature naturally

08:23 Makes it with wheels

08:24 Wheels within wheels

08:26 You with me, Doc?

08:27 Same kind of set up we use in a clock

08:29 A different wheel for a different speed

08:32 Just what the hour, the minute, and the second need

08:36 Hey, jump on that log wheel, man, with all

08:41 Goodness, Dad!

08:42 And now, plant your whippies on the little one

08:47 Went pretty fast, didn't it, kid?

08:50 Wow! I'm sure again!

08:53 Though it may seem incidental

08:54 Still a basic fundamental

08:55 Should be mentioned here

08:56 Before the point is passed

08:58 Illustrating it by ratio

08:59 To show mathematics

09:00 Ratio will show just how slow the gears go

09:02 Or how fast

09:03 Count the teeth around these two gears

09:04 You would know this if you knew gears

09:05 Now the largest twice the number you'll conceive

09:08 Twice the number, consequently

09:09 If you spin it even gently

09:10 You'll observe the smaller turning twice the speed

09:13 And that's the principle of the thing

09:16 That's the principle of the thing

09:18 How the gear treated is related to the ratio

09:20 We have stated is the scientific principle of the thing

09:23 Now attend this demonstration

09:27 Of some wheels in combination

09:28 You do caps and belts and brackets, poles and cans

09:31 Gears eccentric, gears elliptic

09:32 So the purpose making cryptic

09:33 They are all compiled in simple diagrams

09:36 There are skulls and worms and vectors

09:37 With escape and thread connectors

09:38 Need to memo explanation, here I trust

09:41 And the speed and gear reduction

09:42 We determine and construct

09:43 Is based upon the ratio earlier discussed

09:46 And that's the principle of the thing

09:48 That's the principle of the thing

09:51 How the gear treated is related to the ratio

09:53 We have stated is the fascinating principle of the thing

09:56 That's so terrible
