A Study of the Design of an Automotive Research and Investigation Laboratory.

Abstract

The study is basically a determination of the types of equipment required for the operation of an automotive research and investigation laboratory. It serves as a basis for the design of a laboratory for the analysis of automotive systems employed by the United States Army. The facility is designed to analyze six distinct systems: power plant system, tire system, transmission system, steering system, brake system, and fuel system. System definition and equipment recommendations for the selected systems are presented in Chapter 3 of the paper. Equipment recommendations for a Materials Laboratory used in the analysis of the selected systems are presented in Appendix I. Appendices 2 and 3 are studies of the size and cost of the proposed facility. (Author)
