Frank C. Fleck, GM of Canada Director of En- gineering and Forward - Planning, announced that an additional 135 acres of land had been purchased, ad- jacent to GM's existing 23- acre property. Some 75 acres of the new purchase will incorporate a 1.85 km (1.15 mile) driveability road to provide a suitable area to conduct many of the special- ized programs required for If you can't bowl, sponsor a bowler in support of fatherless boys! "CENTENNIAL BOWLING LANES PORT PERRY vehicle evaluation. Mr. Fleck said that since G.M.'s Cold Weather Devel- opment Centre officially opened as a permanent facility in 1973, its avail- ability to the entire General Motors Corporation has resulted in an increased awareness of the many problems encountered by a vehicle in a cold weather environment. "Because of this, corporate involvement at our Kapuskasing Centre has increased significantly, in both scope and volume in recent years." Although not evident to the casual observer, vehicles being evaluated are general- ly equipped with experimen- tal components and systems, and many pre-production features destined for future GM cars. Development activities performed at the Kapus- kasing Centre fall into two main categories, overall vehicle evaluation and evaluation of the function of specific systems and com- ponents. - Overall vehicle evaluation is conducted by subjecting a fleet of vehicles to 19,200 km. (12,000) of a "Customer Service' schedule, so named because it is designed to accelerate the type of service to which a vehicle is subjected by an average motorist in severe winter operation. Vehicles travel 320 km (200 miles) per day over a route that includes some of Kapuskasing's road system and a 192 km (120 mile) straight stretch of Highway 11. The route simulates urban, rural and highway driving situations. At specific intervals, items such as doors, windows, trunk lids, mirrors, anten- nas, etc. are operated a prescribed number of cycles to ensure that all com- ponents of the vehicle have been thoroughly evaluated. The vehicles operate on this schedule for approxi- mately 60 days from mid- November to mid-March during which time Kapus- kasing-area weather is not only predictably cold, but also includes regular hefty snowfall, and even occasion- al thaws, all of which com- bine to set up some of the worst winter driving. condi- tions. The daily mileage accumulation isnot high in terms of typical vehicle evaluation, but GM engin- eers have found that vehicle inactivity can be just as sig- nificant as activity in cold weather operation. For example, it is important to have vehicles "Cold Soak" for 14 hours before a pre- dawn cold start and drive- away. Once a week, the "Cold Soak" is extended to 36 hours to simulate parking the vehicle over a weekend.
