From an article on the Herald-Star website:

Students in the auto service technology program at Jefferson County Joint Vocational School have an extra advantage in their education with the addition of some high-tech equipment for their classroom.

Instructor Ron Reasoner said the school purchased a Hunter Road Force tire balancer this summer that is relatively rare at area professional service sites. The apparatus, which is estimated at $18,000, provides a more modernized tool of the trade.

“It is the latest and greatest technology in tire balancing,” he said. “We do have an older machine, and the advantage is I can teach students the old and new concepts.”

Reasoner added that while both sets of equipment use technology, the newer apparatus has extra capabilities that the older model does not. The balancer includes a spinning barrel that applies pressure to simulate actual road force to help balance the tire. A modern touchscreen computer and laser measurements are incorporated into the system.
