AUSTRALIAN TRACTOR TEST REPORT No. 49 - McCORMICK INTERNATIONAL 62

Australian spark arrester tests : spark arrester for International B-250

FORMAL tests on spark arresters are conducted by The Tractor Testing Committee at the Testing Station, Werribee, on behalf of those companies concerned with tractors, engines or spark arresters who wish to have these equipments tested

Australian tractor tests : no. 30

THIS Report is taken from the full Technical Report No. 30 of this test; test results are shown here in briefer form: fuller explanations are added. Values quoted may be rounded out to two instead of three significant figures; to this extent the values may differ slightly but not significantly from those shown in the Technical Report. Graphs of belt test performance, shown in the Technical Report, are not shown here

Australian tractor test report no. 58 : Massey-Ferguson 165

THE Massey-Ferguson 165 is a general purpose farm tractor. The test tractor gave 50 drawbar h.p. with 59 h.p. at the P.T.O. at rated engine speed it comes within Class 5 of the Australian Standard Classification of Wheeled Tractors for Agricultural Purposes, AS Dl 0-1967. It is equipped with 18.4 x 28 in. pneumatic tyres. It has a threespeed gear box with a ratio change giving 6 forward and reverse speeds

Australian spark arrester tests

FORMAL tests on spark arresters are conducted by The Tractor Testing Committee at the Testing Station, Werribe, on behalf of those Companies concerned with tractors, engines or spark arresters who wish to have these equipments tested. The arrester is tested on the engine it is specially designed for (as in this instance), or if it is sold for use on any or several engines, it is tested on an engine of the highest power for which the spark arrester is intended

Australian tractor test report no. 53 : Chamberlain Countryman 354

AUSTRALIAN TRACTOR TEST REPORT No. 53 - CHAMBERLAIN COUNTRYMAN 354 THE Chamberlain Countryman 354 is a broad-acres cultivation tractor of 77 drawbar horsepower with 87 h.p. at the P.T.O

SweetSpot: Near-Infrared Observations of Thirteen Type Ia Supernovae from a New NOAO Survey Probing the Nearby Smooth Hubble Flow

We present 13 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) observed in the restframe near-infrared (NIR) from 0.02 < z < 0.09 with the WIYN High-resolution Infrared Camera (WHIRC) on the WIYN 3.5-m telescope. With only 1-3 points per light curve and a prior on the time of maximum from the spectrum used to type the object we measure an H-band dispersion of spectroscopically normal SNe Ia of 0.164 mag. These observations continue to demonstrate the improved standard brightness of SNe Ia in H-band even with limited data. Our sample includes two SNe Ia at z ~ 0.09, which represent the most distant restframe NIR H-band observations published to date. This modest sample of 13 NIR SNe Ia represent the pilot sample for "SweetSpot" - a three-year NOAO Survey program that will observe 144 SNe Ia in the smooth Hubble flow. By the end of the survey we will have measured the relative distance to a redshift of z ~ 0.05 to 1%. Nearby Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) observations such as these will test the standard nature of SNe Ia in the restframe NIR, allow insight into the nature of dust, and provide a critical anchor for future cosmological SN Ia surveys at higher redshift.Comment: 36 pages, 8 figures, Submitted to Ap

Australian spark arrester tests : spark arrester for Fordson Dexta

FORMAL tests on spark arresters are conducted by The Tractor Testing Committee at the Testing Station, Werribee, on behalf of those Companies concerned with tractors, engines or spark arresters who wish to have these equipments tested. The arrester is tested on the engine for which it is especially designed or if this is not convenient, it is tested on an engine having the characteristics and power for which the spark arrester is intended

Australian tractor tests : report on test no. 34 : Fordson power major

THIS Report is taken from the full Technical Report No. 34 of this test; test results are shown here in briefer form: fuller explanations are added. Values quoted may be rounded out to two instead of three significant figures; to this extent the values may differ slightly but not significantly from those shown in the Technical Report Some values are taken from graphs shown in the Technical Report, which are not shown here
