Figures
1. Schematic layout of equipment for the determination
    of critical height
2. Typical trace of acceleration against time
3. Typical curve of severity index against effective
    drop height
4. Apparatus for determination of slip resistance
5. The 'Wayne State' curve

Five methods. Properties measured are: the ability to absorb energy, the ability to resist abrazive wear, slip resistance, resistance to indentation and the material\'s ease of ignition.
