Where it came from
Published in 1978 by the USDA Forest Products Laboratory, this technical report documents the engineering and installation of 'Press-Lam,' a then-innovative structural material created by bonding thick veneers under pressure. It was developed as part of a wider effort by the U.S. Forest Service to increase the efficiency of timber utilization by processing low-grade logs into high-strength structural beams.
The document was prepared by research engineers as a practical field study to demonstrate that factory-built, or modular, housing could integrate industrial-grade timber products to improve structural integrity. It is characteristic of post-war government-funded research, focusing on pragmatic, standardized solutions for the burgeoning prefabricated residential construction industry of the late 1970s.
