Abstract

An apparatus for conducting environmental tests on a device and which incorporates an improved transfer mechanism is provided. The apparatus includes a cabinet defining first and second chambers therein. An insulation wall extends between the testing chambers and has an opening therein so as to allow passage between the first and second testing chambers. The transfer mechanism includes a frame structure positioned within the cabinet for supporting a basket which carries the device to be tested. The basket is slidable along the supports of the frame structure for carrying the device between the first and second testing chambers.
