# *Test Stand Base* - The *Test Stand Base* (*Base*) is constructed from ripped down 2x10 pine stock, and fits over a 4" x 8" x 16" (nominal) solid concrete block which is available at most hardware stores.  The outer dimensions of the *Base* are 10-7/8" x 21-1/2" x 5-3/16", and its inner dimensions are 7-7/8" x 15-5/8" x 3-1/2".  The key dimensions of the base are the inner dimensions (to allow the base to fit over the concrete block during operation) and an open platform of 20" in length to accommodate the *Test Section Beam*.
