A MOTOR HOME (left ), containing specially designed computerized equipment, is the
nerve center of the Champion Spark Plug Company fuel economy and emissions tests.
From the unit, engineers control the operation of the chassis dynamometer and record
results. In addition to giving Champion information on how engine condition affects
fuel usage and emissions, results will be provided to governmental agencies for their use
in formulating policies. Heart of the laboratory equipment used in the half-million dollar
Champion fuel economy and emissions test program is a portable chassis dynamometer
(right). The dyno enables Champion to bring a sophisticated automotive test lab to places
where the average car operates so engineers can determine performance of a cross-section
of vehicles. Cars ere tested on the dyno to gather results before and after tune-up.

into problems should they
be traveling in frigid areas
or be confronted by a
freak snow storm at home.
Therefore, the Rubber
Association of Canada
shares its experience in
safe driving on bad roads.
With the reminder that
stopping on a wet road can
take four times the normal
distance as on a dry road,
the association urges re-
duced speeds. Also dis-
tance between your car
and the one in front
should be doubled.
On starting out and with
no cars around, test the
surface by • braking the
car lightly. When braking,
pump the pedal, bringing
the car to a gradual stop.
Jamming on, the brakes is
likely to lock the wheels
and put the car into a skid.
Should you start to enter
a skid, take your foot off
the gas pedal, stay off the
brakes and steer in the
direction of the skid. When
the car is straightening
out, pump the brakes gen-
tly to slow down.
