Test 342: Mccormick-Deering Model W-4, Nebraska Tractor Test Lab Jan 1940

Test 342: Mccormick-Deering Model W-4, Nebraska Tractor Test Lab

Nebraska Tractor Tests

All tractors tested at the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory were certified by their manufacturers as being stock model machines, conforming to specifications filed with the application for test. No special or high-test fuels were used except as recommended by the manufacturer as necessary.

All results within the official tractor test report were actually attained in tests and are without correction or allowances for friction, temperature, altitude, etc. The results were initially accomplished with the tractor in charge of skilled operators employed by the University.

Unless otherwise noted, each tractor was apparently in good condition at the end of the testing …

Test 350: John Deere D, Nebraska Tractor Test Lab

Nebraska Tractor Tests

EXPLANATION OF TEST REPORT: John Deere D

TEST A: The manufacturer's representative operates the tractor for a minimum of 12 hours using light to heavy drawbar loads in each gear.

This serves as a period for limber up, general observation and adjustments. Adjustments that are permissible include valve tappet clearance, breaker ,point gap, spark plug gaps, clutch and others of a similar nature. No new parts or accessories can be installed without having mention made of it in the report. No data' are recorded during this preliminary run except the time that the engine is operated.

Report On Tests Of Fenestra 1 1/2" Roof Deck Used In Horizontally Loaded Diaphragms, Authur Wilson, George Winter Dec 1939

Report On Tests Of Fenestra 1 1/2" Roof Deck Used In Horizontally Loaded Diaphragms, Authur Wilson, George Winter

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

INTRODUCTION Increasing interest in recent years in the performance of roof systems acting as shear diaphragms to resist horizontally applied loads, as well as the vertical loads for which they are primarily designed, has led to an increasingly large number of tests of fullsize and scaled structures loaded in this manner. Fenestra, Inc., manufacturers of light gage steel floor and roof panels, has sponsored an extensive series of tests at Cornell University of floor and roof diaphragms composed of certain of their standard panel sections. The following report describes tests of shear diaphragms using three types of Fenestra 1 1/2" …

Cornell University School Of Civil Engineering Tests On Light Beams Of Cold-Formed Steel, Cornell University School Of Civil Engineering

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

I. OBJECT OF THIS REPORT The full program of tests outlined at the meeting of the Technical Subcommittee held in Ithaca on June 12 has been carried out with one exception: due to the limited time it has not been possible to determine the modulus of elasticity of the sheets. However since the modulus of elasticity of steel under any circumstances is about 29,000,000 to 30,000,000 p.s.i. this point of the program has no immediate practical significance. The following tests have been carried out: 1. Tests to failure of the remaining specimens of the series B - 22. 2. Determination …

Cornell University School Of Civil Engineering Tests On Light Beams Of Cold-Formed Steel, Cornell University School Of Civil Engineering

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

I. OBJECT OF THIS REPORT Buckling tests have been carried out on the remaining three beams of the 22 gage series, i.e. B-22-812a, B-22-816a and B-22-820a. A stress survey has been made on the bottom flange of beam B-22-812b. A new series of 22 gage specimens has been designed for the further study of the bottom flange stresses and of the top flange buckling.

Cornell University School Of Civil Engineering Tests On Light Beams Of Cold-Formed Steel, Cornell University School Of Civil Engineering

CCFSS Library (1939 - present)

I. OBJECT OF THIS REPORT Since the investigations discussed in the previous report have proved that the stress distribution at midspan was fairly uniform in the narrowest, medium and widest beams of the 14 gage series, it seemed unnecessary to carry out investigations on the remaining two intermediate beams A-14-66 and A-l4-610. Three beams of the 22 gage series have been investigated so far, namely B-22-84a and b and B-22-88a. Detailed stress distribution surveys have been carried out at midspan on beams B-22-84b and B-22-88a. It was impossible to carry out such a survey on beam B-22-84a, since this beam …

I. OBJECT OF THIS REPORT After having obtained preliminary information from the abbreviated tests referred to in the previous report, a detailed survey of the stress distribution over the bottom flange at midspan has been carried out for the beams A-14-612b, A-14-612a and A-14-68a (in chronological order). Furthermore a special investigation has been made at the same section of beam A-14-612a for the purpose of determining the accuracy of the actual strain measurements.


Further Studies Of Selected Types Of Domestic Gas Stoves, Arnold E. Baragar Apr 1939

Further Studies Of Selected Types Of Domestic Gas Stoves, Arnold E. Baragar

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

This bulletin is a supplement to Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station Research Bulletin 86. Tests were conducted in the same manner as were those described in Bulletin 86; hence, no reference has been made to experimental methods unless a test has not been previously reported. This paper is primarily concerned with (1) a discussion of cooking tops producing excessive carbon-monoxide gas, (2) more data relative to cooking-top burner efficiencies, (3) a further discussion of automatic lighters, and (4) a detailed study of ovens.

Fifty Years Of Achievement In Agricultural Investigation, R. T. Prescott Mar 1939

Fifty Years Of Achievement In Agricultural Investigation, R. T. Prescott

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

In Nebraska, a hustling frontier state in 1887, the legislature hesitated not at all in taking advantage of the provisions of the Hatch Act, and now that fifty years have elapsed since the Station was founded, seventy-five years since the Land Grant College Act was passed and the U. S. Department of Agriculture established, and almost twenty-five years since the Agricultural Extension Service was added, it seems worth while to present a general summary of achievement within the state. The main object will be to show some of the important things that have been learned through the investigations of the …
