YOURS FOR ONLY MANY OLDER MODELS Ph.one 237 1 a MASSEY-HARRIS FIRST WITH FULL SCALE TEST TRACK FOR FARM EQUIPMENT Wide-spread and fast has been the swing to modern mechanization. Urgent 'demands have been made upon implement engineers to develop new models to keep up with the needs of agriculture. To get information on materials, designs and features in hours and days instead of the usual months and years, Massey-Harris designed and built the first full scale test track for tractors and modern power farm equipment. ' On this test track the machines lug heavy loads, bump and shake, bounce and sway, jolt and jar, climb steep grades, and spin round and round. As they go through the test, electronic instruments write the inside story of stress and strains and complete records are kept of the day to day wear and tear. These controlled supervised tests help Massey-Harris engineers design equipment that will offer more advantages in ease of opera­ tion, long life with low upkeep cost and greater ability in saving tim6 and labour. For quality, satisfaction, and service with modern mechanization, equip with Massey-Harris. MASSEY-HARRIS-FERGUSON LIMITED Makers of high quality farm implements since 1847
