All subcommittees met and commenced working sessions. The committee bylaws were formulated and prepared for letter ballot. No standards were completed, but subcommittee F14.10 recommended to ASTM Committee A5 that their specification A392 Standard Specification for Zinc-Coated Steel ChainLink Fence Fabric be amended for a change in chain link fabric selvages. A second executive committee and full committee meeting was held Sept. 25 and 26, 1973, in Kansas City, Mo. Rudy Parisien was selected and accepted chairmanship of F14.20 Wood Fences. Richard Perry was selected and accepted chairmanship of F14.30 Other Fences. Further work was accomplished preparing first drafts of proposed standards. Present fence related standards now held by other ASTM committees were reviewed. Arrangements were made to provide liaison between Committee F14 and Committee A5 on Metallic Coated Iron and Steel Products and Committee F12 on Security Systems and Equipment. An executive committee meeting and a full committee meeting were scheduled for Feb. 5-6-7, 1974, at the Regency Hyatt House in Atlanta, Ga.
