- THE LABORATORY has been described as an “indoor” proving ground. However, laboratory investigations are not intended to substitute for proving ground activities, but rather are a necessary counterpart. Interrelation between the two becomes more clear when considering some of the laboratory's inherent advantages:
-
1.
It permits close investigation of the operation of inaccessible parts.
-
2.
Small differences in design performance may be evaluated through precise control and measurement of test conditions.
-
3.
Road conditions, due to inclement weather, are of no concern.
-
4.
The delay of transmission tests due to failure of other vehicle components is eliminated.
-
5.
By utilizing automatic shut down features, it allows close inspection and pin-pointing of source of failure.
-
6.
It allows accelerated testing since measured proving grounds data may be adjusted a given percentage before being put into a fixture.
This paper describes the laboratory testing of automatic transmissions. -
