Excerpt from Modern Designs for Prefabricated and Demountable Buildings

Existing facilities for mass production of emergency strue tures in this country dictate the use of wood, steel, processed board, or combinations of these three elements. Various circumstances have influenced the availability of these three elements at different stages of the war. Accordingly, various designs have been proposed to match the availability of material.
