Publisher description
Excerpt from Labour Saving in Small Houses: Being the Report of an Inquiry Made by a Sub-Committee of the Women's Section of the Garden Cities and Town-Planning AssociationSelection Points - Having abandoned the idea of fuel-costing tests, some other means of securing the same object was sought, and it was decided to set a standard of efficiency for each type of appliance, taking into account (a) labour-saving qualities, (b) durability, (0) fuel economy, and to express this standard in a series of selection points for the guidance of manufacturers and buyers.Illustrated Folio - The problems involved in carrying out the second part of the terms of reference have been very carefully con sidered by the sub-committee. Although it is very desirable to bring buyers and sellers of labour-saving arrangements into touch with one another by some more satisfactory means than that of advertisement, it considers that it is inadvisable from every point of View for it to undertake the responsibility of recommendation. The Sub - Committee, therefore, suggests that the illustrated folio, compiled for its own use, be added to the library of the Association, where it will be available for any interested person who may wish to see it. The intention is that it should always be kept up to date, and thus offer a collection in handy form of advertisements of the fittings on the market, classified accord ing to type, with the names and addresses of the vendors or makers; it includes also particulars of some Continental appliances. This folio would be in no sense a recommended list, but merely a directory, the completeness of which could not be guaranteed, though every effort has been and should be made to make it as comprehensive and helpful as possible. Those who consulted it would be advised to write to the vendors for illustrated catalogues.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
