Gas Tank for Plane Rocked in "Cradle" To Test Strength

Item

Before self-sealing gasoline tanks are placed on military airplanes, they are given a thorough testing, part of which consists of rocking them in a large cradlelike machine developed by B. F. Goodrich Co., of Akron, O. As the device oscillates with the tank mounted inside, measurements are made of the stresses and strains it endures.
