- Abstract
- The Conference entitled 'Precoordination-Basis for Industrialized Building' was held at the National Bureau of Standards, Gaithersburg, Md., on September 24-26, 1969. The Conference was sponsored by the American National Standards Institute's Committee A62, Precoordination of Building Components and Systems, to explore the standards required to establish a basis for an industrywide system of building using interchangeable components. Coordinated components, conforming to these standards, will be compatible and interchangeable in both dimension and function and thereby offer unlimited opportunities for product and material selection as well as design flexibility.
