dc.description From the Georgia School of Technology Announcement, 1896-97: "[Laboratory practice] involves the use of various engineering appliances, such as pyrometers, planimeters, gauges, test pumps, dyanomometers, etc. A laboratory is now being fitted up with the foregoing appliances, and will be supplied with motive power by dynamos and also by gas engine. It will have a large tensile testing machine, and a transverse testing machine, with micrometer gauge, etc. for the carrying out of accurate tests..The Mechanical Laboratory is supplied with a 50,000 pound Olsen Testing Machine, which is furnished with a fine extensometer for obtaining extension and set, and an attachment constructed by ourselves for making transverse tests on large pieces. There has been constructed in the school shops, during the present year from our own designs, a Transverse Testing Machine, for making transverse tests on iron and wooden beams of a more delicate character than can be made on our larger machines. This machine reads accurately by quarter pounds up to two thousand pounds." en
