I always loved this F1 engine video showing the injectors working at 20k rpm. That sound too.

Good grief! Those movies were mostly made by the Jam Handy Corp. back in the 30s and later. I worked there (Detroit area) in the 80s and in their library were hundreds of these films. They also did a lot of WWII training films, including the ones that said that syphilis was not your friend and was lurking in all English, French and particularly German females. And would make you go crazy. Small world, eh?
