Three-wheeled device, Mu-Meter, measures friction between its rubber-tired wheels and runway surface, and these data can be related to skid resistance and required braking distance for aircraft or motor vehicle; load capsule is used to sense force couple produced, according to coefficient of friction of surface, by toe-in of wheels; standard industrial tires are run at 10 psi; device is towed behind vehicle such as Land Rover, and has built-in chart recorder to give continuous written record of surface friction over area traversed; it has been provided by ML Aviation Co Ltd of White Waltham Aerodrome, Maidenhead; diagrams show components.
