The word "pilot" implies entry into production and not full-scale, high-volume levels. This is true in most product areas because it is a transition from the small-scale prototype building often done by model makers or technicians to the large-scale production done by production workers and equipment. 1, record 2, English, - pilot%20run%20product%20testing

TVA 1971 and 1972. Two models for [delta] h were developed at the Air Quality Branch of the Tennessee Valley Authority by Montgomery et al(1971 & 1972). The formulas are based on a full-scale study of plume rise from a large electric generating plant. The first model follows that of Briggs and is based on the 2/3 law. The second however is not based on the 2/3 law but on a best fit to the experimental observations. 1, record 3, English, - TVA%20formula
