Code Publication Date

We're analyzing old undocumented vessels against Codes that were in effect at the time of their construction.  Can anyone tell me when ASME BPVC Sec VIII Div 2 was initially published?

There are good summaries of Code contents, and information about how to order, but no historical/revision information.

RE: Code Publication Date

Section VIII was split into Div. 1 and Div. 2 beginning with the 1968 edition. Anything built to the '65 code (with addenda) was simply Section VIII (no Division).
