Looking Back at Insulating Advice from 1951

For at least four decades, the Audels Carpenters and Builders Guide was considered the Builder’s Bible

20世纪20年代,“30年代”,40年代和50年代的奥格尔书籍足够紧凑,以便包装到工具箱中。关于绝缘的章节出现在第3卷。

Up until the mid-1950s, almost every American carpenter had heard ofAudels Carpenters and Builders Guide。Even carpenters who didn’t own all four volumes of the book series had probably studied theAudelsbooks at some point in their careers, or knew someone on the job site who had copies of the books.

In a way, the奥格尔指南Fine Homebuildingof the 1930s and 1940s. It instructed beginners in the right way to do things; it upheld standards; and it promoted quality work.

该指南首次出版,该指南于1939年,1945年,1951年更新。随着美国建设者从后束框架的过渡到粘合,Audelsdragged its heels, entering the new era with great reluctance. Even in its 1951 edition, the series insisted that a quality building needed a post-and-beam frame with mortise-and-tenon joints.

In在线论文,Tedd Benson签了Audelsbooks for inspiring his love for the construction method that became Benson’s focus for decades: “Reading the old Audels was, in fact, the first time I became enamored of timberframing. That edition had good illustrations and reasonably good instructions about joinery and particular framing techniques.”

1951年版本,我拥有的座位,建议将框架的读者置于横梁后施工。这本书将钢框架称为“气球框架”,而后梁施工(木材框架)被称为“全框架”。

According to Audels, a “full frame” consists of “heavy and solid timbers fastened together with mortise and tenon joints secured by pins,” while a balloon frame “is a cheap and as usually put together a more or less objectionable construction. … Since the balloon frame is a type which invites poor work and a certain class of builders cannot resist such a…

    查理,
    它在20世纪40年代和20世纪50年代初是常见的,以指作为一种绝缘类型的辐射障碍。这些辐射屏障由铝或镀锌钢制成。

    I have a copy of the February 1947 issue of众议院和花园杂志包含柔性钢板的广告,这些钢板被吹捧为“绝缘”。广告读取,“用铁 - 热量隔离一次,你永远隔离!”该广告进一步拥有Ferro-Therm薄片反射“90%至95%的辐射热。”

    现在,我找不到我的众议院和花园- 我引用了我的票据Energy Design Updatearticle. But after an online search, I found the image below -- an advertisement for "Ferro-Therm Metal Insulation for Homes."

    Math, typo, custom Delorean powered w/ flux capacitors, or...?
    "I was pleasantly surprised, however, to discover that this 57-year-old book did a pretty good job of introducing the topic of insulation to residential builders."

    Last time I looked at my watch it was 2018, not 2008. That would make a circa 1951 publication 67 years old, not 57.

    The great thing about radiant barrier advertisements from the 1940s & 1950s is that they don't include pictures of satellites or the Space Shuttle or written references to the space program, unlike some more recent hype. I've yet to encounter mid-century house with radiant barrier insulation in the field, but it's probably lurking out there somewhere...

    两侧两侧厚厚的宽薄岩母毛背包在20世纪20年代初。在安装护套之前,我看到的唯一安装通过螺柱,将螺柱托架分在对角线上。以这种方式安装了一个总皮塔,以处理改装致密的玻璃纤维素而不首先换墙壁。(问我怎么知道......已经看过但是一个例子。

    我不确定当金属首次inve棉絮nted, blending the batt & metal insulation concepts, but they're pretty common in early 1960s houses. Is foil faced batt insulation mentioned anywhere in the book(s)?

    Dana,
    Thanks for catching my math error. I'm older than I think.

    Dana,
    这是一个1922年宣传册的屏幕,由Union Fiber Company制造的刚性绝缘产品。

    铝绝缘?
    感谢您的视角,准确反映了学到的内容,以及展示多年来所知的内容。

    一件事被遗弃为一个谜。铝绝缘?像钢丝羊毛,但用铝制制成?还是这是一个早期的辐射障碍方法?

    铝绝缘材料
    在历史上一些花边新闻of the radiant barrier approach:

    根据Richard T.Bynum(2001)的绝缘手册,用于绝缘的反光金属表面于1804年首次获得专利,在20世纪30年代变得有些商业流行。该信息的来源是保罗敦厄姆关闭,1947年建筑物的保温保温。

    A 1950 book, "Heat Insulation" by Gordon Ball Wilkes, mentions using a configuration with four air spaces, and a reflective surface facing each of them.

    A Google n-gram search of the terms "aluminum insulation", "reflective insulation", and "radiant barrier" shows that aluminum and reflective insulation were quite popular--at least popular to write about--between 1945 and 1960, more so than fiberglass insulation or mineral wool insulation. But it wasn't until the mid 1980s that "radiant barrier" became a popular term.

    There's also an article called "Aluminum Foil for Insulation: A Research Report", by John Hancock Callender in Architectural Forum, Volume 60, Issues 1-3, Whitney Publications, 1934 that sounds like it would would be interesting.

    哇,谢谢你归档,马丁的链接。这可能是很多时间的娱乐。我发现了来自两个“反射绝缘”的公司的小册子,而且它们通常比现代辐射障碍销售小册子或网站往往更准确。值得注意的差异是,它们非常清楚地需要多个空气差距来获得显着的R值,推荐多达8层,用于绝缘冷储藏室!

    The archive that Martin linked to in comment #5 was largely the work of Mike Jackson. Mike has retired from his position with the Illinois State Historic Preservation Office, but he remains very active in APT, the Association for Preservation Technology. APT has a quarterly Bulletin journal that is an amazing resource. Mike was largely responsible for promoting energy and climate issues within the organization, and he guest edited a 2005 issue of the Bulletin on energy.

    May I offer to the GBA community a big shoutout to Mike and APT.

    Response to Bill Rose
    Bill,
    Thanks for providing the information on how the archive came to be. And I'd like to join you in extending thanks to Mike Jackson for his work. It's a wonderful resource, and is a great example of one of the ways that the Web has changed researchers' lives.

    1923 model
    I've got the complete set from, as far as I can tell, 1923. No mention of insulation that I can find. But it does have helpful info on mixing your own lead paint.

    I grew up in a neighborhood built in the 50's and have since worked on quite a few houses there. Many were insulated with cotton. This stuff was plush, you could have cuddled up with it at night.
