This short shows how two objects led to important discoveries. Children playing with a seesaw inspire French physician Rene Laennec to invent the stethoscope, and a pair of shoes made of caoutchouc lead Charles Goodyear to discover the process for vulcanizing rubber.
The Seesaw and the Shoes was directed by Douglas Foster.
The Seesaw and the Shoes runs for 11min, and was released in 1945.
