                          2. Instrumentation and Electronics Support

                                a.     Test Support - Grand National Cars:


                                       The Plymouth transmission tests were instrumented with followin        CD
                  measurements:

                                             RPM engine
                                             Rear wheel speed
                                             Acceleration (longitudinal and lateral)
                                             Converter cooler inlet temperature
                                             Exhaust temperature
                                             Water temperature

                                b. Test Support - Drag Cars:


                                       Test of a drag car at Detroit Dragway were supported 16 - 19 June
                 with the following measurements:


                                             Engine RPM
                                             Propellor Shaft RPM
                                             Rear wheel speed
                                             Front wheel speed
                                             Acceleration
                                             Oil sump temperature

                         3 •    Mobile Contro 1 Center

                                Began disassembly for disposal.


                          4•    Special Systems Development

                                a. Driver Seat. Suspension :


                                       The modified Bostrom seat was prepared for testing in he Plymouth
                  but interference with automatic transmission shifter box cancelled the test


                                b.     Vehicle Thermal Insulation:


                                       A fire resistant paint procured from Albi Manufacturin  Company
                  was tested on samples of the polyetherurethane foam using a gas oil mixtui          under
                  static conditions. The test results were encouraging and the paint appears        to offer
                  considerable protection to the insulation.
