Developing prototype multi-use shelter-structure
Experimental design for light-weight, prefabricated, demountable, stressed-skin plywood and timber structure was modified and improved to form complete but extensible shelter; arrangement of assembled elements made up composite structure which would be enlarged by extension along one axis; shelter appeared suitable for employment on various sites in temperate or colder climates; all exterior panels had polyethylene vapor-barrier and rock-wool insulation in form of paper-covered bats; system developed was flexible for use as emergency housing units, free-standing rural houses, temporary laboratories, and emergency hospitals.
