This 1948 short film by Popular Science magazine screened in movie theaters before Paramount Pictures features. It shows a mechanical differential analyzer in use by UCLA engineering students and researchers.

In the movie, I am, of course, the male student flanked by the two co-eds ;)

Not that I know what a differential is.
