Not reluctant ' to accept an invitation to enter the cold room once inside, they felt little desire to r~main. Even with an antomobile engine running at full speed, the temperature or' the room is kept down to 20 degrees helow zero. To make matters even worse for the unprepared visitor, gigantic blowers produce an arctic blast of wind equivalent to a 35 mile an hour gale. This room, in fact, is a great refrigerator. in which temperature s as low as 47 degrees below zero can be reachecl. It is chilled bv refrigerating machinery capable of p-roducing 60 tons of icc every 24 lwurs. Shafting running from outside connects the engine under test with a motor dvnanometer. Under these conditions ~£ extreme cold are tested engines, ~tarters, carburetor's, oil pumps, and. any other unit that is affected bv low temperature s. The effect of cold- on paint, top material, part s made of rubber compounds. and other materials, also is observed. Workers in this room wear clothing designed for the usc of av·iators in flying at extremely hig-h altitudes. Just the opposite is the heat ro()m, where temperatures as high as 140 degrees are attained. Here arc conducted tests of the cooling sy tem, carburetion, manifolds, gasoline pumps. gasoline gauges. thermostats, automatic radiator shutter , and other unit s or materials that may vary with increa sing temperatures. .
