New Laboratory Device
Tests Car Fuel Efficiency
By At*oc»at#tf Press
PITTSBURGH, Aug. 24. — The
Gulf Oil Corp. said today it is
taking most of its gasoline test
men off the road and putting them
in the laboratory.
The reason is a new engineering
development known as the dyanmo
meter, whi'h produces actual driv
ing conditions at the push of a
button.
The driver relies on a huge in
strument board mounted outside
the car. The vehicle's front wheels
are fastened to chocks, while the
rear wheels run on large iron roll
ers extending down into a maze
of machinery.
The company said it expects
more precise data on gasoline per
formance and eventually better
fuels as a result of the new testing
apparatus.

When the son brought her pension
application form she w-as “faced
with a terrible choice,” but signed
it, said the lawyer, adding: “Al
though she has broken the law, she
