1927 clip of Car, can you identify it?

I've no idea on the car but I'd take a stab at how it works.. I think it probably has two steering racks, one atop the other. Each rack connects to only one wheel. In normal use, the racks are separated and locked together and the pinion drives them both in the same direction so rotating the wheel clockwise points both wheels to the right. In parking mode, the racks are brought closer and unlocked in such a way that they are both in contact with the pinion and free to move in opposite directions. Turning the steering wheel increases or decreases the amount of toe in as the racks move in opposite directions

Crude sketch time!

Imagine the central pinion gear moving counter clockwise: the racks will move apart. Now imagine pushing a toothed wedge into each side, forcing the top rack up and away from the pinion, and the teeth on the wedge locking into each rack.. now the whole assembly moves according to what the pinion does to the bottom rack only

Probably also worth mentioning that in that video I suspect there will have been something else going on, with the differential or elsewhere. There is no overall force in any direction for two front wheels rotated so they are perpendicular to the imaginary line from rear diff to front wheel center so you can't get a car to spin by driving the diff normally. You'd have to lock it up such that when driven, one of the rear wheels rotates forwards and he other in reverse. This would cause the car to rotate in the road, around a point roughly where the diff is. Quite a complex affair I dare say, and you wouldn't see this arrangement on a front wheel drive car because getting around the problem that a cv joint cannot transmit power through that angle would be a very costly exercise.. Easiest to do with electric front wheel drive I reckon, where the motors could be rotated thus and power the front wheels to turn, dragging the front of the car round. Physically but not commercially viable (and I have some doubts as to the authenticity of the video tbh)
