A Study to Determine the Feasibility of Using a Process Controller in the Dynamometer Shop at the Red River Army Depot.

Abstract

This research is designed to investigate the question concerning the possibility of using a process controller in the Dynamometer Shop, Building 373, at the Red River Army Depot. The process controller would be used to control the acceptance tests performed on the engines that are rebuilt at the depot. Conclusions drawn from the investigation are that the Dynamometer Shop should be converted from the manual control test area to a processor control test area. Also recommended is that all controls and instrumentation required for manual testing be retained to take care of problems arising in the process controller and also to take care of special projects which would not be handled by the process controller.
