From the Saturday Track Report for October 7

"This test required a person to lay supine on the top of the
engine compartment housing (on the Fairmont Tamper), reach down to the engine, and manually articulate
the governor linkage to measure the effect on engine speed and track speed...
The course of this test covered about 1/2 mile of railroad, much of which
was visible from the highway. We caught occasional quizzical glimpses of
motorists looking at the body laying across the engine compartment of the Tamper.
If the tester had been one with a lean cross-country runner-like build such
as Bob Zacher, the vision might have been one of the winged Mercury hood
ornament on a '30s era Pierce Arrow or Packard. But the test technician was
stocky yours truly, so the vision was probably more like that of the classic limp
trophy deer strapped to the muddy fender of an old Willys Jeep."
