The Spokane Research Laboratory (SRL) site is located just north of the downtown Spokane, Washington business area. It consists of a 2-story office and laboratory complex and associated buildings. One major equipment, the IMPAC 3636 Mark II free fall shock testing machine, is used to simulate impulsive forces experienced by heavy equipment operators that may contribute to sprains and strains and other lower back injuries.
