Above, left, it shown a heating and cooling oven
through which Canadian Army radioa are patted in
aeriea of rugged tests. Temperatures in this oven rang'
from 150 degrees to 50 below. Above, right, one
the radios is placed on a vibrator. This test appi
mates the jouncing given by a tank going over
terrain. Below, a radio it teated in a field truck under
typical service conditions.
GLEN COVE NEWS
(Mrs. Charles L. Scott)
TE someone were to take your
I radio and drop It on the floor,
heat it in the oven, and then freeze
It In the refrigerator, you would
assume that Its useful days were
over. Yet that. In principle, is what
wireless sets for the Canadian
Army must go through before they
are placed In production by the De-
partment of Munitions and Supply.
The idea, of course, is not to
wreck the radios, but to see that
they will stand up to the gruelling
conditions of actual warfare. Know-
ing well how tubes can work loose
and soldered joints break under the
constant pounding received in a
tank, how parts freeze up and in-
sulation cracks Is sub-zero weather,
and bow condensers melt In ex-
treme heat, not to mention a dosen
other' varied troubles, technicians
at the Canadian Signals Experimen-
tal Establishment have devised a
variety of test equipment to dupli-
cate service conditions.
They take pride In their work,
these professional radio-wreckers.
Their satisfaction la great when
after hours of punishment a future
tank or ajmored car radio Is still
standing up and functioning well.
A aet which comes through the
tests with flying colors is not apt
to go wrong In the Held.
Testing a wireless set for modern
warfare ia no haphazard job. In
a mechanical "shaker-upper" the
radio receives shocks gauged to
simulate the pounding of a tank or
some auch fighting vehicle. When
a piece of equipment is "cooked” In
the experimental oven, the heat
treatment is carefully controlled to
match conditions which might be
met In desert warfare. And every
time a set goes into the freezing
chamber and the temperature drops
until the rime and frost collect on
the chassis. It Is the laboratory
reproduction of possible operating
conditions on some battlefield
Throughout such teats, the radios
are kept In operation and after each
"workout" an exhaustive check Is
made with precision instruments to
determine ill effects, if any
This rigid testing Is part of the
process of development of all radios
designed by the Directorate of Sig-
nals Design. Army Engineering
Branch. Department of Munition*
and Supply. Seta from "outside"
sources are sinul-irly,tested to en-
sure that they are up to the speci-
fications of the requirements of the
Department of Munitions and Sup-
ply and the !, -action Board of the
United Kir-gcom §t Canada.
