They put real effort and production value into them – really tried to engage the students.

Here’s a favorite.
It stars Rube Goldberg of the famous contraption cartoons.

I now have a much better understanding of how that part works. The MC riding team was a bonus :-)

you beat me to it!

Highly recommend the Archive!
You can get totally lost in their various Collections and download hundreds of gigabytes of audio/video.
(-They also have an extensive collection of digitized 78 rpm records as well.)
Their collection rivals the Library of Congress in scope, with the complete upside that you can download everything they have, immediately, for free, in numerous formats.

The Archive is also part of “Project Gutenberg”– they designed inexpensive, specialized scanning-equipment, using off-the-shelf components, and have been busily scanning & digitizing literally millions of books and other “ephemeral” texts.

The Jam Handy Organization produced 100’s of these short “industrial” films on topics such as this, and Chevrolet was a big client for over 30 years.

The http://www.Archive.org folks have an extensive collection, all of which are available on-line, in numerous downloadable & streaming formats, and all are in the public domain & free for use.
Tangentially– when you visit–check out the Archive’s (growing) collection of public domain Feature Films. Lots-o-obscure material, you can’t find anywhere. (Over 4,200 Titles.)

There are many other similar movies if you care to look for them at:
