A TOTALLY NEW CONCEPT IN ENERGY SAVINGS, CALLED THE FIREPLACE FURNACE
PATENT PENDING
MODELS FOR EXISTING FIREPLACES
Four (4) heat chambers each containing a triple baffle system, in short heat chambers hold the air over the fire longer than other systems. Therefore, higher discharge temperatures, and being above the fame there is less chance of burning out from heat and acids created by burning wood. Fits any rectangular freplace opening. Can be installed by home owner in less than 20 minutes. Gives you the luxury of a fireplace with the efficiency of a wood buming stove.

NBS Reorganizes, Signs Joint Agreement
As the result of its recent reorganization, the National Bureau of Standards. Washington, D.C., now consists of two major laboratories-the National Engineering Laboratory (NEL) and the National Measurement Laboratory (NML) and the Institute for Computer Science and Technology (CBT).
The CBT has been reorganized from three divisions and two offices to four divisions-Structures and Materials; Building Thermal and Service Systems; Environmental Design Research, and Building Economics and Regulatory Technology.
In a related development, the National Bureau of Standards and the National Conference of States on Building Codes and Standards, Inc. have signed an agreement calling for close cooperation on national problems related to deficient and needed new standards and codes for building regulations.
ISO Symbols Adopted For 1981 Vehicles
An ISO standard is being used by the federal government as the basis for new regulation requiring the use of symbols, rather than words, on the dashboards of road vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued the new rule in an effort to improve driver recognition of control knobs and instrument panel displays. Symbols convey information faster and with less chance of human error than words, the agency said.
Examples of international symbols required for motor vehicles effective with 1981 models headlamps, fuel level, coolant temperature, windshield wipers, ventilation, and oil pressure.
Effective with 1981 models, auto makers will have to use the international standard symbols for a number of controls including those for headlamps, windshield wipers, air conditioning and defrosters. Symbols will also be required for the turn-signal indicator.
