TECO to Celebrqte Silver Anniversqry qt November Meetings
Washington-Trventy-live years of continuous service to the lumber and rvood oroducts industries in research and engineering rvill be celebrated by Timber Engineering Company at its silver anniversary directors' meetings in November, according to Harry G. Uhl, president.
Organized in January 1933 as an independent, incorporated affiliate of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association for the purpose of promoting the use of rvood through modern engineering practice and researcl-r stuclies, Timber Engineering Company has achieved a leading position in the fields of timber engineering and t'ood product develooment.

Teco, as it is popularly knou'n, introduced modern timber connectors into American construction, opening the r,vay for far greater use of rvood as an engineering material. The Teco system of engineered timber constrllction is widely used today in residential, commercial, recreational and industrial buildings, schools and churches. For a quartercentury, architects, engineers, professors and student clesigners have been supplied u'ith the latest technical data developed by Teco's continuing research and engineering studies. These clevelopments have revolutionized tl.re concepts of timlrer design procedures and construction practices. Builders and lumber dealers have also received oractical information on building better and more economical u'ood structures.
In 1913, the Timber E,ngineering Company r.ood products laboratory rvas openecl, expanding the scope of its serr.ices, to provicle needed research zrnd testing facilities for lumber :rnd rvoocl product develoirment and impror.ement. To keep pace tr.ith the increasecl need for these services, fotrr major expansion programs of laboratory plant and ecluipment have been necessarv.
The latest expansion program, completed last vear, in- cluded a fully equipped wood particle board pilot plant and companion facilities, capable of developing and testing any kind of platen type particle boards, with companion facilities and personnel for testing both platen and extrusion boards, raw r.naterials, production processes, end uses and markets. Custom built and conveyorized to stimulate a mass producing commercial plant, the facility is the only one of its kind in type and scope in commercial laboratories in the Western hemisphere.
A crou.ning achievernent c,f the u'ood industrl.-orvned service organization is the "Timber Design and Construction Handbook," the first master compilation of the essential basic information needed to design and build in timber. The 622-pase reference is the .n ork of four and one-half years by 26 leading specialists in the rvood industry.
