The tray revolves three times per

A typical day in the "life" of the
materials tested includes alternately
three-fourths hours of cold, one hour
of rain, one and one-half hours light,
two hours rain and 16 hours of light

detrimental influence on construe-
tion materials, the major part of the
time is used by the ultra-violet lamps.
