Excerpt from Engineering Record, Building Record and Sanitary Engineer, Vol. 75: January March, 1917
The American Society report proper contains 211 pages. It is preceded by an abstract. But although this contains 12 pages the committee hopes it will not be used by the members of the society as the sole basis for their conclusions and discussions. Snap judgment on so weighty a document would hardly be in order, and the Engineering Record will reserve detail comment until next week, The report looks, however, to have been worth waiting for. Out of the known divergences of views between the old and the new members of the committee have come an adjustment and an analysis that is apparently a credit to the society.
