Telemetry and Flight certification of weld schedules)
Hardware Precision coatings; metal plating
Custom Ground Systems of cadmium, chrome, copper, gold
Complex Cable Harnesses nickel, and silver
Machining to R&D Toler­
ances of . 0003

Sheetmetal forming to tolerances of .010 to .030 (.005 on hold locations)

5. Laboratory Facilities:

Modern laboratory facilities for development and test are available at the
Chrysler Huntsville Research Park location, including provisions for environmental and
structural testing. Chrysler Huntsville has access to the laboratory facilities of Chrysler's
entire Defense, Space, and Diversified Products Group, including the Materials Laboratory
and the Environmental Test Laboratory at Chrysler Detroit. These laboratories can perform
a complete spectrum of testing on material of exotic composition and unusual dimensions.

Chrysler Huntsville has a very extensive experience, and a strong present
capability, in the planning, conduct, and evaluation of test programs. This capability was
highly developed by participation in the broad spectrum of developmental activity that pro­
duced the uniquely reliable Redstone, Jupiter, and Saturn I/IB rockets.

Chrysler Huntsville has conducted exhaustive static and dynamic test pro­
grams in support of the Saturn program, and currently participates heavily in the Static
Test operations at Marshall Space Flight Center. The Chrysler Huntsville test laboratory
at Research Park provides the capability for environmental and structural testing of com­
ponents and assemblies of moderate size.

Test engineering at Chrysler Huntsville encompasses the planning of test
programs; the generation of test procedures and reports; the conduct of aH test activities —
including developmental, qualification, reliability demonstration, and acceptance— for
electrical, electronic, and mechanical components and systems; and the development and
design of special purpose test equipment and checkout consoles.
