Service Containers: Categories and Manufacturers

PREFABRICATED ROOMS FOR SPECIALIZED ENVIRONMENTS
If the term "container" is taken to describe those objects which enhance
building adaptability by housing services more or less independently of the
building elements, then prefabricated rooms for specialized purposes will
fall into this category at one end of the scale, just as the electrical
raceways fall in at the other end. An attempt was made to identify
manufacturers not only of the more commonly used environmental,
audiometric and clean rooms, but also of prefabricated surgeries and
laboratories, etc. It appears that manufacturers of totally equipped
prefabricated surgeries have not yet been able to market their product in
the United States, though some progress has been made in Europe.
Information was sought from the following manufacturers or their
representatives:
1. American Air Filter (clean rooms) Berlin, Conn.
2. Bendix Corporation (laboratories) Dayton, Ohio.
3. Honeywell (surgeries) Minneapolis, Minn.
4. James Howarth & Co., Ltd., Bolton Lanes, England.
5. Industrial Acoustics Co., Inc., (audiometric and environmental rooms)
Bronx, N.Y.
6. Liberty Industries, Inc. (clean rooms) Berlin, Conn.
7. Rayproof Corp. (shielded and audiometric rooms) Norwalk, Conn.
8. Thermatron (environmental rooms), Holland, Mich.
9. Tracor (audiometric rooms) Austin, Texas.
10. Veller (surgery) Gentilly, France.
11. Weber (clean rooms) Grand Rapids, Mich.
