of manpower. The Austin approach used three shifts of masons working steadily, 24 hours a day, under ideally controlled conditions to fabricate all the panels required to enclose one floor in one 24-hour period.
This is not necessarily the only answer, nor is it even suggested to be the best answer. But it is one answer it is a beginning. And, if nothing more, it demonstrates to us that the promulgation of the use and application of brick panels is a job we can all become involved in. None of us can allow ourselves the luxury of sitting back, waiting for someone else- some other segment of the masonry industry to solve the problems.
We must each search for and find our place in an orderly industry so that the ultimate goal of promoting product and labor can be achieved. We must do this with the least amount of scrambling and the greatest amount of intra-industry cooperation in order to avoid wasting precious time, talent and money.
Obviously, as more emphasis is directed toward panel fabrication greater economics will be realized. Just as obviously, panel construction will eventually move into the factory. But before this happens many problems must be solved; one of the first being the problem of panel standardization. Today it is difficult to visualize "stock" panels (except perhaps for mass-produced housing). But all these problems will be solved.
Remember-not too many years ago the old portable sawmills that moved onto the farm plot and milled the local logs into lumber? Every job was a custom job, and if there was standardization in lumber sizes at all, it was pretty loose.
Ten years from now maybe the Austin panels will seem just as antiquated as these old mills. Then there will be new problems, new challenges, and we'll hear someone say, "Remember-not too many years ago-brick panels.
