One of tkes$ productsf the pioneer models of which were in^ortexi from the r U;* S > plant , was 'bn-the^car " wheel balancers . / -, In the late 5,0 f ^ /; the third generation of these fantastic units was produced in Belleville, the model 7057. These balancers permitted .the balancing of wheels, at high speed, right on the automobile,: both statically and dynamically. From this was :,^ developed the technigue "balancing" and detecting other deficr iencies in the car's system such as loose bearings or undesirable brake conditions , etc. Eventually, some seven models were produced, including the last one which '"had a solid-state amplifier and strobe unit. One model > "with- a 7 1/2 H,P. Electric motor could accurately rebalance truck wheels. , , ' '. ~ . ; " ; / -"- ' · £ S4P;^4= .. ' - -r " - ' ":" · a4 1 a :: ' "" ' .
