Philosophy of testing, applied by Caterpillar Tractor Co, development of structural testing, and description of present laboratory facilities; advantages of laboratory test is that variables can be very precisely controlled and that structures for machines that are not yet in production can be evaluated; techniques used include static stress analysis and fatigue test both of which are described; bedplates studied and final bedplate selected, contained inside 100 ft × 50 ft room; main components and equipment.
