A two-wheel trailer was selected which obtains a locked wheel skid resistance with the pavement in a wet condition. The system was designed so that either a standard test could be run automatically or the operator could control the various operations (time of skid, amount of water, number of wheels, etc.) through manual control. The development of the various measuring systems and component parts are discussed in detail to provide accessible information for others desiring to construct a skid trailer. In addition the static and dynamic calibration of the trailer and its component systems are discussed. Approximately 12,000 individual tire skids have been performed with the trailer through February, 1965, with good performance and only minor repairs. Tests were made in each highway district in the State encompassing some 500 different projects. (Author)
