Tank joyrides and propeller cars fill British Pathé's innovation rewind

A Time to Remember episode gathers wingwalkers, early television and ambitious transport experiments from the first half of the twentieth century.

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

  1. 5:11Newsreels trace the shift from cavalry to tanks, followed by tanks repurposed for tourist joyrides.
  2. 7:20Propeller-driven cars, bidirectional vehicles and rollover demonstrations reveal unconventional approaches to motoring.
  3. 10:40Stunt aviation footage includes wingwalkers performing wheel replacements in mid-air.
  4. 16:12Wireless broadcasting connects King George V's speech with Marconi's developments.
  5. 22:08Early television engineering appears alongside experiments with automatic pilots for aircraft.
  6. 26:24Bennie's Railplane, electric-eye doors and a liquid-oxygen rocket car illustrate competing visions of the future.

A tank carries a sign advertising joyrides, and the newsreel narrator supplies the distinction: "Roll out the tanks, but not for war." British Pathé's Time to Remember episode finds plenty of unexpected uses for the machinery of a changing century.

The October upload, "Trailblazers of Innovation in the Early 20th Century (Time To Remember Ep 5: Pushing the Boundaries)", is the strongest daily draw among the channel's active videos. It has reached nearly 139,000 views. Propeller-driven cars, a sleeping-car bus and wingwalkers replacing a wheel in mid-air give its account of technological progress a wonderfully practical streak of eccentricity. Faced with one automotive experiment, the narrator asks: "Just one question: why?"

There is consequential invention here too: Marconi's wireless developments, engineers working on early television and Roosevelt opening the Boulder Dam with a telegraph-key switch. The documentary looks back through the narration of the original 1950s series, so viewers get an earlier generation's perspective on an earlier generation's breakthroughs.

British Pathé posted nothing new this week, yet its archive added roughly 2.3 million views. Subscribers were unchanged, while daily viewing remained close to its usual level. Among documentary neighbours, FRONTLINE had a growing subscriber audience and a busier-than-usual daily view rate; Journeyman Pictures, like Pathé, was near its normal rhythm.

The archive's other active draws offer different sorts of time travel: Manchester City's 1932 team introduction and the year-by-year documentary series' visit to 1966, including England's World Cup victory.
