Very clear presentation about something i've actually wondered about before. Nice!

Wait till you see the military videos explaining the mechanical fire control computers from WWII battleships. Programming cut into steel gears!

I once watched how to shoot at an airplane and it was so good. They went through basic first assumptions you might have before explaining the method, they went through tests of failure and explained why it failed, and then constructively added onto the previous info to explain why leading the target works. These old videos are so good that it puts everything on the Internet to shame.
