Free Pocket-Size Colculqtor Helps to SellWoodwork

Ponderosa Pine Woodwork is distributing to building supply dealers a poeket-size "Window Condensation Calculator,, that operates like a slide rule to show when cer- tain combinations of climate and window materials can result in condensation.

Using it as a guide, the dealer can advise his builder and home-owner customers how to avoid the unsightly and damaging "steam" or "frost" that collects on window glass and, in some cases, even on the sash.

The calculator was developed by Ponderosa Pine Woodwork, an association of lumber producers and millwork manufacturers, as part of its progtam of reports to

F0R IYPICAL outside temperatures, the calculator gives inside temperatures of window sash and slass. and indicates whether condensation will form. - dealers on quality window performance. A study on condensation is of special im- portance at this time, the association pointed out, because the tightly-built modern house and the increasing use of moisture-generating appliances is bound to raise the level of relative humidity. This higher humidity is healthful, and it prevents the "drying out" of furniture, But it also increases the possibility of condensation on windows.

Information provided by the calculator shows that at favorable levels of relative humidity the window treatment most likely to rule out condenSation is wood sash with either insulating glass or storm windows.

A calculator will be sent, without charge, to dealers on request.
