Following the success of the novel facility for the testing of aircraft tyre, wheel and brake units — the most advanced of its kind in the world — installed at the Birmingham factory of Dunlop Ltd in 1973, an order has been received for a similar equipment for use in a USSR research establishment in Moscow. Vickers Ltd will again be responsible for the design, installation and commissioning of the complete test facility, an important feature of which is a powerful and sophisticated electrical drive system designed and supplied by GEC Electrical Projects Ltd.
