SCRIM and safe - still helping save lives

摘要

The Sideway-force Coefficient Routine Investigation Machine, or SCRIM as it is more commonly known, is manufactured by Bristol-based WDM Limited (WDM) and is an example of British engineering at its very best. The first machine, which measures wet-road skid resistance, was built for the then government-funded Transport and Road Research Laboratory in 1967. Since then WDM, which is the sole licensed manufacturer worldwide, has had machines operating in 18 countries.
