The Tractor Testing Laboratory, designed and built at Purdue, isthe first of its kind to be built, and is setting the highest of standardsfor tractor testing. Apparatus for determining the effect of flat spotson car wheels is also located in the laboratories. The Locomotive Laboratory was the first of its kind in the coun-try and high tribute has been paid the school by the industrial worldas indicated by the number of tests that the school is asked to run onnew
