“THE CONSTRUCTION OF DIESEL ENGINES “ 1942 U.S. NAVY SUBMARINE SCHOOL TRAINING FILM 86884
Produced by the U.S. Navy during WWII, this black & white training film explains the construction and operation of diesel engines, primarily through a series of animated diagrams. The film examines a generic type of diesel engine (probably one built by Fairbanks Morse for use on submairines), noting that while there are differences in design, they all share the same fundamentals in terms of construction and operation. Copyright 1942, and made by Audio Productions. Note: A related film can be seen at:
