British Board of Agrement - the first 30 years
Article Abstract:
Since 1966 the British Board of Agrement (BBA) has examined and tested new construction materials in order to certify them as suitable for use in buildings. The producers are charged up to 50,000 pounds sterling for testing procedures which can last up to 1 year. In the future the management of the BBA is hoping to expand their work into worldwide product evaluation as well as increasing their role in identifying substandard subcontractors.

Can the output of 200 years really be characterized by mullions?
Article Abstract:
Gothic was a Renaissance term of abuse aimed at those who trashed the Classical inheritance, one that missed its true target by more than seven centuries. The Gothic age is explored to uncover the Masonic tradition and it is believed that unless one would accept 'German Manner' or an alternative 19th-centuryism in 'Pointed Style', one would be stuck with Gothic and the burden of its confusion with Dracula and others.
