Nope. Johnnie F's wifey is a bit younger.
A later-similar design concept of the panel has been employed in two-story
houses built in Albuquerque,though.
They put up the panels, weld them together, spray on stucco-concrete
and go.
Our patent US 3,170,270 (1965) show how we proposed to
connect drywall to the wires on the panel.
Since I was employed by AEC-ATT at the time, they
had to release their first-dibs option.
Johnnie F works with his architect son building homes
that start out in the $500K - $5Megabuck price range.
We built the first prototype panel out of soldered
welding rod in about 1963.
Later resistance welded half-width panels were load tested
by supporting the ends on saw horses and stacking on bricks.
With a three foot high stack of bricks in the middle of a 6 foot span t
the saw horses failed and when the bricks-panel hit the cement
floor, the stack of bricks was intact, but, the panel failed the impact test.
