The study is designed to compare two different systems of calibrating the strain gages mounted on skid trailer test equipment axle. One method, the lever arm procedure, applies a torque directly to the axle. The other method applies a torque through the tire by means of a moveable plate on which the tire rests. It is felt that a difference could result in differing relationships between torque and plate readings. These relationships are developed and compared. (Author)
