" ISITORS to General Motors' 1168-acre Proving Ground marvel at the sight of a complete weather bureau and ask what it is for. ' The answer is that in the testing of cars every possible factor that might affect a car's performance is considered by General Motors' engineers., ;. ; - 1 ) ' So precise are some of the tests that even the difference between a sunny day and a partly cloudy day- or between a north breeze and a . south breeze is considered. With each day's record of the mechanical tests applied to a car on the roads and hills of the Proving Ground is included a report of the exact weather conditions prevailing. The engiaccrs then can know how weather affects performance, and can have a comparable record so that every car tested is given an equal opportunity to prove itself under exactly the same conditions.
