I will mail it to you from work on Monday That pic on the cover is a 185 at the Perkins factory sound test chamber... also new for 1972 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I remember the sound room at coventry when we went on a visit in 1990 they where showing the warehouse trac system it was quite by todays standards and that goes for the whole plant Its shame that doncaster ,coventry ,and the old marshall works arnt still up and running how long before we loose basildon [ [ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmernick06 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I don't mean to sound stupid but what are the sound rooms for? And what are those orange looking things in the picture Marky? Looks like some cut scene from highlander or something \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Not stupid at all Nicole... In 1972 ALL sorts of new regulations were coming out about noise... Massey Ferguson were having to supply ear defenders to meet regualtions on their existing flexicab.... so GREAT pains were being endured to make tractor cabs a quieter place to be... As for the orange blocks... they are foam blocks... designed not to reflect any noise off the walls mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are they just to measure the amount of noise and the main places where sound is coming from and therefore fixing the problem? \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are they just to measure the amount of noise and the main places where sound is coming from and therefore fixing the problem? \ I'm not really sure to be honest NICK... I would guess that modern noise meters have overtaken he need for such rooms now mate... I think they were measuring the noise emmisions from the whole tractor at that time.... but I guess they would take sounds measurements all over the tractor.. There was a real rush at that time to meet changing regulations of driver comfort/safety... It has to be said I have very little knowledge though mate.. perhaps a better informed member will put us both right mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
