Solartron Extend Rolls‐Royce Engine Test Systems

Abstract

A THIRD phase contract worth £100,000 to extend an Automatic Data Recording (ADR) system at the Rolls‐Royce engine test facility in Hatfield has been completed by Solartron Systems of Farnborough, Hants. Solartron supplied the original Hatfield data acquisition and processing system for Gem engine experimental testing in 1980 and has already extended and upgraded it once. This latest extension accommodates two test beds for the new Rolls Royce RTM322 engine, which is being developed jointly by Britain and France. The modular design of Solartron hardware readily facilitates extensions to existing systems.
