He and Benz that was one of the greatest collaboration between 2 great inventors ever.
1 invented the automobile but needed a better engine that didn't require extremely volatile fuel.
The other who invented an engine that ran on high compression rather than a high octane fuel. Running his first diesel on peanut oil.
Those 2 make the greatest diesel cars, trucks and industrial machines to this day.
Mercedes-Benz with a diesel engine.
I see 1950s era diesels still on the road with the original engine in it with no major repairs ever required.

Being a film created in 1952, it is still very relevant even though the diesel engines have improved significantly. It took multiple disciplines of scientists, inventors, chemist, mining companies, governments, and engineers to make all these come together that have been serving humanity very well.

I owned a Volkswagen, diesel Dasher, I believe the year was 1980. Great mileage ran great, but I had a major problem. The timing chain broke and blew the rods through the top of the engine. It was never brought to my attention however they mentioned in the owner's manual naturally I found out afterwards that you have to adjust the timing chain after 60,000 miles. At the time General Motors had a thing where they converted gas 350 engines into Diesel and they had all sorts of problems. When I try to sell the Dasher nobody even wanted to touch it. I ended up buying a Volkswagen Rabbit gas engine, just for transportation. At that time I would put anywhere from the 60 to approximately 100,000 miles per year on my cars. What years later in early 2000s 2002 to be exact I bought it Diesel Pusher high-end motorhome with a cat C 7 engine. Great motorhome fantastic engine never had an ounce of trouble, I was getting anywhere from 7:00 to maybe sometimes 10:00 or 11 miles on a gallon at that time. I drove around the United States and Canada in my motorhome with my dog for approximately 7 and 1/2 years. I really had time to see how great country and Canada. Again just my little dog Felix he was a Maltese may he rest in peace, and myself just the two of us. By the way Felix was my best buddy. When he passed away I cried more for him, than my own twin brother. I am sure all dog lovers will understand my comment. May they both rest in peace. Today's date is August 25th 2022.

I spent 8 years working for Deutz here in Atlanta in the late '80s. German company (KHD) traced back to Rudolph Diesel and Nicholas August Otto. I was Warranty Engineer so most of what I did was analyze the ones that people had destroyed through abuse, neglect, misapplication and sometimes, outright sabotage! I could tell one had been run low on oil by the smell. Yes, spun rod bearing. So a day to do the report with pictures and several pages of documentation for the files. And the lawsuits that were filed against us in some cases (we never lost).
In 8 years I found FOUR factory defects. BTW there were at least FIVE others including the Chief Engineer/Corporate Legal officer (50 State PE) AND the German head of our service Department who always checked my work! We found crap that would fill a book! To this day I can be driving and smell that burned oil and know ONE of the trucks in front is spinning a rod bearing (it's always the rod bearing that dies first).
