Before we step off the Earth to Mars, we need to test every kind of technical machinery in use at the time of this operation. The Moon provides a great establishing base, similar to what may be found on Mars. We, the Earthians, will go to the Moon, to establish the technical data needed for Mars and other off-earth explorations.

It all began way back in 1984 when I began my career in the field of dynamometer and engine testing when after years of gut-feeling and study I realized that there is a need for a book on dynamometer and its application to engine testing. As automotive and dynamometer industry is growing worldwide the concern eventually became so great I felt a book devoted to the subject was warranted. The book Dynamometer-Theory and Application to Engine Testing...
