Midget Motor Mania - Vintage Model Car Racing Video
"Adventures of a Newsreel Cameraman" was a series of short documentary
films produced by 20th Century Fox in the 1930s. They covered topics including the relatively new technologies
of airplanes, rockets, and electronics. The video is posted on YouTube by
The Best Radio Controlled Car Reviews
website titles it "History of Radio Controlled Cars Classic and Vintage RC Cars," which is a misnomer
because there is nothing about R/C in the film (thanks to them, anyway).
It does have some cool footage about tethered and free running model cars on an constrained track.
From the opening screen of the Midget Motor Mania video:
"Give a boy or a man a motor, and the battle of skill and daring against the power of machines brings
out fast and furious action, also the NEWSREEL CAMERAMAN."
