"Fire Research Publications, 1975" is a supplement to the

previous editions which covered the years 1969-1972 (NBSIR

73-246) , 1973 (NBSIR 74-511) and 1974 (NBSIR 75-736) . Only

publications prepared by the members of the Center for Fire

Research (CFR) , by National Bureau of Standards (NBS ) personnel or external laboratories under contract or grant from

the CFR are cited. Articles published in NBS house organs

also are cited.

For documents that are available for purchase from either

the Government Printing Office (GPO) or the National Technical

Information Service (NTIS) , the specific order number and

paper copy price (prices are subject to change) have been

included in the citation.

GPO documents are obtained by writing directly to the

Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office,

Washington, D.C. 20402. Indicate the SD Catalog No. for

each document requested. Orders must be prepaid. Remittance

should be made either by coupons (obtainable from the Superintendent of Documents in sets of 20 for $1.00 and good until

used) or by check or money order payable to the "Superintendent

of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office".

NTIS documents are obtained by writing directly to the

National Technical Information Service, U.S. Department of

Commerce, Springfield, Va. 22161. Indicate the NTIS Order

No. for each document requested. Microfiche copies of the

documents are also available at a cost of $2.25 for domestic

orders and $3.75 for foreign orders. All prices are subject

to change. Orders must be prepaid by check or money order

payable to "National Technical Information Service" or by
