Manual of Fire-Loss Prevention of the Federal Fire Council

From preface: "This issue of the Manual of Fire-Loss Prevention, the first edition of which was published in 1934, includes revisions and additions made in part to cover improvements in the past 10 years in methods of preventing and controlling fires. Such methods remain dependent largely on the elimination of preventable fires and abatement of loss from those that originate, by the use of appropriate designs and materials in building construction and the installation of applicable fire alarm and extinguishing equipment, to the extent justified by the hazard" (p. ii).

Protection of Nonmetallic Aircraft From Lightning 4: Electrocution Hazards From Inductive Voltages

Report presenting tests made on an XCG-7 all-wood glider on a PT-19A training airplane with a tubular metal fuselage and wooden wings by passing electrical surges simulating lightning discharges through the aircraft and measuring the voltage induced between various points which might be touched by an occupant. While certain recommendations for electrical protection are provided, the personnel in a metal fuselage aircraft are reasonably well protected from induced voltage shock without other protection.
