although it held a number of meetings during the years 1936 to 1939, little progress was made. However, in July, 1939, this committee was discharged and organizations known to be interested in this subject were invited to name official representatives on a new representative subcommittee whose duty it would be to develop an American Standard Plumb ing Code. The organization meeting of Subcommittee No. 1 was held in New York on April 16, 1941, at which a subgroup was appointed to study the plumbing codes now available and to develop a tentative draft of an American Standard Plumbing Code. At the time thirty(30) national organizations and govern ment bodies were represented on Subcommittee No. 1.The drafting subgroup held its first meeting in April, 1941, followed by numerous meetings and informal conferences.Its first report was issued in the spring of 1942 in the form of seven sections of the proposed code which were distributed to interested individuals and organizations for criticism and comment. These were very favorably received and its second report covering eight additional sections, dated June, 1944, was also considered and met with a favorable reception.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
