Shocks have changed in the last 80 years.

Apparently there are other films in this series explaining lubrication, transmissions and differentials.

    Interesting, and that rear 'shock' says made in Dayton on it. I'm assuming that is Dayton, Ohio. I was up there recently in a plant that made bumpers for the auto industry about 70 years ago.
