AITC Telephone Service

The American Institute of Timber Construction is continuing its toll-free telephone consultation service for designers and specifiers of structural glued laminated timber. By dialing (800) 525-f625, designers and specifiers will be able to talk with a member of the AITC headquarters staff about the properties and advantages of glulam timber, general design questions and AITC services. There are certain subjects which AITC will not be able to discuss. Thqse are:

Complete design of structures. The staff will be glad to discuss general design matters, but not detailed in. formation such as determining sizes of members to meet specific design situations. Although AITC has several registered professional engineers on its staffo specific design information should be determined by design professionals, with whom the AITC staff is not attempting to compete.

Cost. Trade associations are not permitted to discuss this information. It can be obtained from representatives of AITC member laminators.

Delivery times. This relates to a particular lamina- tor's own situation and should be obtained from representatives of AITC member laminators.

(4) Ilrood products other than glued laminated timber. Information about light framing lumber and lumber products (such as trussed rafters), plywood, or proprietary wood products should be obtained from representatives of firms or associations in these fields.

"It is an unnecessary tragedy in this time Jincreasing demands on our natural resources that we are allowing more timber in Colorado to go to waste than we are using for the manufacture of lumber and all other purposes," says Nicholas J. Kirkmire. 'oFifty percent more solid wood volume is dying every year than is being removed from the forest inventory for man's use."

Kirkmire is exec. vp. of the Federal Timber Purchasers Assn., a Denver-based association of wood processing companies.

A recent survey by the Forest Service shows that in Colorado 90,387,000 cubic feet of timber is killed each year by natural causes-compared with 58,993,000 removed by timber harvest, changes in land use, and for other reasons.
