Ice-Covered Truck in Cold Lab
| A man is looking through a window towards another man in a cold lab testing a truck. Caption reads: "A parka-clad engineer braves thirty below zero temperature to check an ice-covered truck in the 'cold lab' in International Harvester Company's new motor truck engineering building and laboratories. Bitter cold weather is produced in this laboratory to test cold-weather characteristics of trucks and components. Engineers check starting ability and performance in the cold, and test the starting qualities of fuels and the characteristics of lubricants. Starting motors, cab heaters and defrosters also undergo tests here." |
