Of 156 cookers tested 126 were new tests and 30 repeated. Although 84 gauges read correctly at 10 pounds the master gauge showed 58 units low in 1 to 3 pounds. New gauges were advised for 14ers. The tests stressed safe food preservation during the 1945 campaign making clear the danger of unknowing adjustments.
