This 1960s industrial film captures a scientific experiment conducted by the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. The test seeks to decide whether wood or steel joists can withstand fire damage. Researchers divide a test building into two sections: one with steel and one with wood. The findings show that wood joists can withstand fire better than steel.
