1936 Chevrolet

At General Motors in 1936, vehicle testing was remarkably sophisticated. See all the equipment and methods at work in this original Chevrolet film.

Like many of the Chevrolet films produced back in the day by Jam Handy of Detroit, this one, titled Wind, Weather, and Wheels, was designed to capture the interest of a general audience. So the script writers take a few minutes to get around to the actual subject—we call it the “first, the earth cooled” method of storytelling. But at around three minutes in (feel free to skip ahead) we get to the good stuff: a tour of the General Motors Proving Ground and a detailed look at the testing procedures for the ’36 Chevrolet.

For the mid-thirties, the test hardware is relatively sophisticated. At 4:40 we encounter a vehicle-sized pendulum for locating the center of gravity, and at 5:40 there’s an early chassis dynomometer with full instrumentation. Steering effort is checked with a wheel-mounted torqueometer, while a fifth wheel validates fuel consumption. And at around 9:30, a vacuum pump and smoke machine are used to test the cabin seal. We enjoy seeing this old gear at work, and along the way, there are some excellent views of the Proving Ground in its early, more rustic form. The facility, still a busy place today, is modestly described here as “the greatest outdoor laboratory in the world.”

In 1936, Chevrolet was not the best-selling car in the USA. In fact, Ford beat Chevrolet in total volume in ’34 through ’37, no doubt due in part to the selling power of Ford’s 85 hp V8. But with 79 hp, Chevy’s overhead-valve inline six was at least in the game, and a redesigned six the following year matched the Ford V8 in rated output. At $495 to $655, Chevrolet undercut Ford in pricing by a few bucks in ’36, losing to Ford by a mere 12,000 units. Video follows.

“🎼🎶Wouldn’t you rather have a Buick” 🎶“🎼See the USA in your Chevrolet” Car commercials from the 1960s come to mind. The SR-71 program used both the Buick and the Chevrolet.

When Kelly Johnson designed the A-12, then later the SR 71 ..to save on weight, it was made without a starter.

Another issue is that the engine oil was formulated for high temperatures; it was practically solid at temperatures below 86°.

The Blackbirds could not be started without external help . Ben Rich says in his book “Skunk Works.” ‘’This is how we got the Blackbird running. The first time we tried was in January of 1962 we wanted to test the engines.…they wouldn’t start. We rigged up TWO modified 425 cubic inch Buick Wildcat race-car engines and estimated 500 hp horsepower EACH to turn the massive starter shafts”. Soon after start carts were made by the SR 71 program to rev up the engines to 3,200 RPM+ plus. They were loud, no mufflers look below for a link to hear it yourself.

“The original start carts were Buick Wildcat 425 cubic inch V-8 engines developing 400 horsepower. There were two Buick engines mounted tandem side by side with automatic transmissions. They were coupled together to drive a vertical shaft that was inserted into the starter mechanism on the bottom of the SR-71's engine. On engine launch, there was one AG-330 Buick for each SR engine.

For the first-time observer of an SR-71 launch, the engine starts in themselves were almost indescribable. For one thing, there were no mufflers on the Buick engines. As the Buick RPM advanced, 🔥Flames almost three feet long erupted from the side of the start cart. It truly sounded like the beginning of the Indianapolis 500. 🔥

Combine that sound with the steady increase of SR-71 RPM to engine TEB ignition at 3,200 RPM and then idle aircraft engine speed as the Blackbird comes to life. Then it all starts all over again with the second engine.”

After a few years, they ran out of Buick engines. Every junkyard in America was searched to find more of these powerful V8 engines to start the SR 71. When the supply was utterly exhausted, they turned to the Chevys. Buick was the first choice!

New World, Fool

Daisuko leads Shosuko out to the parking lot behind the building. She walks over to one of those old-timey four-seaters and slaps its roof. 

“Vintage 1969 Chevrolet Impala SS. V8 engine, upgraded suspension, goes very fast in a very straight line. The greatest muscle car the USA has ever known, imported to Japan for the enjoyment of yours truly.” “Neat.” Shosuko tries her best to hide her disinterest. Something she’s sure she does very poorly.

“Aight, get in.” Daisuko jumps into the driver’s seat, Shosuko does the same with shotgun. “We gotta get you some ink.”

“Ink?” Daisuko takes off her coat and starts unbuttoning her dress shirt. 

“What are you–” “Ta-dah!” She bares her back for Shosuko to see, revealing a rich tapestry etched into her skin. A humongous snake that bears Daisuko’s name serpentines up and down her back before coiling up on her right shoulder. On her left shoulder are the words ‘Daisuko Kuze’;.

“It’s not bad.” Not bad is an understatement. Shosuko has to admit, it’s pretty goddamn gorgeous. The snake’s white coloring is striking. And the lettering on the calligraphy is also equally beautiful, every stroke meticulously calculated. 

“You’ll be getting one too. Maybe a small one first, just something to show that you’re part of the Kuze Clan now. Like your name or something.” Daisuko talks as she slips her clothes back on. “Nah. I’ll get the full jacket.” “Damn, for real?” Daisuko’s eyebrows raise slightly and she nods her head. “Respect. Shit’s gonna hurt like a bitch though.” “I can take it.” She gulps some of her saliva down. She may be biting off more than she can chew but hey, it can’t be worse than taking an Oni club to the ribs, right?  

“Aight. Let’s get going.” Daisuko jams the key into the ignition, turns it, and steps on the gas. No, scratch that, she oh-so-very gently taps the gas. The car begins to crawl forwards. 

“Can we get there before next year?” “Patience. Always practice safe driving. Always.” Daisuko starts whistling to herself. 

“...”

“...”

“...” 

It’s five minutes before they exit the parking lot. 

“Nah I’m just fucking with you. Hang on tight. The car’s a wild one.” 

“What’s that supposed to–”

Shosuko’s head slams into the headrest as the car goes into hyperdrive. 

———————————————————————————————————————

“We’re here!” Daisuko slams the brakes, nearly causing the car to flip over. Shosuko’s hands shake as she reaches over to open the car door. She’s never had her hands shake like this before. And that's saying a lot considering the things she went through in Minaminagi. “You good?”

“Y-yeah.” 

Shosuko feels like she’s taking her first steps all over again as she stumbles out of the car. Legs still gelatin, Daisuko leads her through a pair of glass double doors into a tattoo parlor. The old man who runs the place is polite enough and seems to know his stuff. He sets a table for Shosuko to lie down on. 

“This is gonna sting.” Ever reassuring, Daisuko gives Shosuko a grin before she walks out. The tattoo drill begins to whir louder and louder until it reaches an ear-piercing din.

The skin of a magical girl is both thicker and harder than a normal person’s. To get around this, most studios either employ special diamond-tipped needles or use tattoo drills, capable of piercing magical skin. The latter being much cheaper and more widespread than the former. People say that if you plan to become a magical girl, you should get your tattoos beforehand because tattoo drills are supposedly extremely painful and also incredibly slow. Today, Shosuko learns that what people say is true. 

———————————————————————————————————————

“So, how was it?” Daisuko sits next to where Shosuko’s lying. 

“Not as bad as I thought.” Shosuko lies through her teeth. It was much worse. So much worse. Getting the linework done was bad enough, but the shading and coloring were much worse. So much worse. It was morning when they got here, now it’s already a little past lunch time. “Alright, let’s get going.”

“Damn you heal fast.” Even with the drastically accelerated healing that comes with being a magical girl, a tattoo of this size should take at least a few hours to heal over, but by the time Daisuko checks in on Shosuko, the scabs have almost finished falling off. “It’s Taijutsu.” 

「Taijutsu」- Body Techniques. Taijutsu is a term referring to a variety of Jutsu that enhance the user’s natural capabilities. It is the most basic of the three core Jutsu. Every magical girl knows at least one form of Taijutsu. Taijutsu can also be either passive or active. Passive Taijutsu are activated once and persist until the user dismisses it or circumstances force the Taijutsu to deactivate, such as the user dying. Active Taijutsu have instantaneous effects and can be activated repeatedly. Compared to the other kinds of Jutsu, Taijutsu typically consumes the least amount of blood when used. 

“This is the first one I was taught.” 

“Huh. I know a lot of people that would kill for something like that. It’s fine right now cause it’s just me here, but maybe don’t go around showing people what kind of Jutsu you’ve got on you. You never know who might be watching.”

Shosuko’s heard of the underground Jutsu trade. It’s not enough for most people to just read a scroll with instructions on it and practice for years to learn to use a basic Jutsu or spending decades crafting their own. Thankfully, there’s an alternative. Using Jutsu consumes blood and some magical imprint of the Jutsu is left behind in the blood. Even just using a Jutsu once is enough to leave a vivid enough imprint for someone else to mimic the effects while only undergoing a fraction of the training the original required. So long as they consume enough of that blood. Typically around a half-liter. 

It’s intuitive to think that collecting Jutsu is a good thing. However, nothing could be further from the truth. The more Jutsu a person knows, the stronger their ‘scent’. The stronger a person’s scent, the more valuable their blood must be. The more valuable their blood must be, the more people will come after them to try and harvest that blood. Two or three Jutsu is untraceable, but go over five and people will start smelling you before they see you, above seven and you might as well have a big red target painted on your back across all of Japan. 

“How does it look?” Shosuko cranes her neck around to try and get a look for herself. “Perfect. I like the funny man’s frown. He looks so angry.” Daisuko runs her hand along Shosuko’s back, tracing the contours of the tattoo while also making her incredibly uncomfortable.

“That’s enough of that.” Shosuko picks Daisuko’s hand up and throws it away. “What now?” “Now, I show you how yakuza make money.” 

“...” “What’s up?” “I don’t know, just something about the way you said that made me think that we were about to do something insane.” 

As it turns out, Shosuko’s right.

Hey everyone, this is a snippet of the second part of my unfinished work "Anego," a piece focusing on a blend of Magical Girl fiction and Mafia fiction (At least for the first part, it kind of goes off the rails later on lmao.) But yeah, if you like this, then here's a link to my commission info:
