Units of exit widths?

Kurnal the PWS covers more than exit widths but why does it still cast its shadow sixty years later, when more recent research should have cast it to the trash can years ago.

All my responses only apply to England and Wales and they are an overview of the subject, hopefully it will point you in the right direction and always treat with caution.

PWBS actually make a lot of sense when read in context.  The story about the 2 and a half minutes national anthem in Edinburgh in 1911 even makes sense when read in context.  And the context hasn't changed that much in 50 years.  We're still trying to achieve the same goals.  People weren't stupid back then.

There are a lot of assumptions made, and reading these makes it clear that the principles derived should only really be applied to "typical" buildings.

Anyway, the findings have largely stood the test of time (I know I've said that before) and are usually conservative.

What else have we got to go on?

Should we re-invent the wheel and call it a "circular locomotion facilitation device?"
