A MODEL MOTOR TEST CELL

Original Johnson Motors factory photograph from SPB #278, illustration 1

From all appearances (above) it would seem that Al Zink (Al's Outboard Service), Venice, California, has constructed a model motor test cell for efficient and profitable tank testing and tuning of motors on their way through his service operation.

Note that everything ordinarily required for tank testing is within arm's reach:
1. The test wheels
2. The control panel which includes all of the panel instruments found in the boat
3. The junction box, regular and alternator
4. Remote shift and speed controls
5. A tachometer
6. The storage battery in an accessible position
7. The electric hoist to save time and muscle wear
8. Ample provisions for conducting exhaust gases from the tank.

Note too, that the walls and evidently the ceiling are acoustic lined (required by regulation in some areas) for less noise and to better observe motor performance.

A suggestion for you, when it comes time to remodel, rebuild, or when planning new construction. Every step and/or motion saved when tuning or tank testing is time saving and profitable.

Sincerely,
JOHNSON MOTORS
