There have been some notable attempts at solving this dilemma, but until now little success has been achieved. We say until now because the recent purchase of Fountain Lam-Loc Lumber Trees by Northridge Lurnber Co. looks like both a good and economical solution to this long-standing enigma.

The trees are designed so that any variety of items are easily stored in their own bay. Longs, shorts, special species all have an orderly location that can be reached with a lift truck, and without moving any other loads. The bays are adjustable so either eight or ten modules can be made available to fit a particular condition. The trees are designed with a large safety factor which means that every inch of space can be utilized. According to Leon Gillespie, President of Northridge Lumber Co., "The Lam-Loc Lumber Trees cut our hunting and handling time in half on these orders, and I feel our inventory is under much bettef control. The unusual items move faster because they are manageable and out where we can see them, The trees have been so successful for us that we have already ordered additional units from Fountain."

YARD 'IIORE REXIBIE

Another advantage of Lam-Loc Lumber Trees is the increased yard flexibility. They are simple to move as storage problems change. No foundations are required. The usual lift truck available in every yard permits relocation in minutes. An interesting side advantage of these trees is to show the strength of laminated timbers. Fully loaded, they become an excellent example

Woiting Room on Wheels Ends Airport Wqlkqthon

The foot-fracturing walkathon from ticket counter to aircraft that has plagued passengers at the nation's big air terminals for years, has been abolished at the new Dulles International Airport in Washington, D. C. by the introduction of the mobile lounge.

Twenty of these "waiting rooms on wheels"-the largest automotive land vehicles ever built-taxi passengers the half mile from the terminal to the parked planes in club-car comfort, sheltered from weather and the noise and fumes of the jetport.

Each of these quarter-million-dollar step-savers is capable of transporting 90 passengers at a clip. At that, it takes two lounges or two trips to fill the bigger jets now plying the international airways. And by 1975 when additional gates at Dulles International will have been constructed and some aircraft will be parked as far as three miles from the terminal building, this number of mobile lounges may have to be doubled.

It is anticipated that nine million passengers will pass through Dulles International by that date and the present 24 mobile lounge positions will be increased to 56.

THE XIA]NTENANCE FACIOR

Maintenance and maneuverability were prime factors in construction of the mobile lounge-creation of the late Eero Saarinen who considered his architectural design for Dulles International "the best thing I have done."

To hold down the weight factor in the lounge, which weigh approximately 76,000 pounds each, dicorative plastics were used fof most of the interior shell of each lounge. Vinyl-covered metal panels house the air-conditioning ducts that ring the perimeter of the ceiling. And white Micarta panels were us€d in the fabrication of the bulkheads and swinging doors at each end of the lounges.

An additional advantage of this material lies in the fact that Micarta, used extehsively in interiors of airplanes, ships and railroad cars, is a permanently colored laminate that resists abrasion and other hard wear, cleans easily and never needs painting.

U.S. Plywood, exclusive distributor of Micarta, not only supplied most of the material for the interior shell of the mobile lounge, but the company's specialists in maintenance-free interiors for the transportation industry, also furnished design and application criteria for use of their products. Specially treated, heavy-duty plywood was used for flooring, while ceilings were fabricated with Duraply, a resin-fiber faced plywood to which the decorative vinyl was laminated.

The interior color scheme of the lounges is white, charcoal and dark red-keyed to the decor of the new terminal building.

We make stains for lust about every kind of wood imaginable. And we make them better. We use more pigment, more pure linseed oil and more preservative in every can. So naturally, our stains last longer than ordinary finishes. (And look a lot better in the bargain.) Of course, Olympic Stains do cost a little more than other stains. But you simply can't buy a better stain for less.
