Can anyone tell me the width and lengths corrugated iron siding was available in during the 1930's and 1940's? Even the Corrugated Iron Club (Yes there was such a club) didn't post width and length dimensions.
I am guessing that the siding during the time period I'm looking at would have been the 1" pitch "ripple iron" siding with 3" pitch for the roof.
As to sheet widths and lengths I have seen 3 foot by 6ft,8ft,12ft long and 16ft. I have also seen 26inch width by 10ft long. Then there's 35inch width by 12ft long!
The trouble is I suspect some of these dimensions are too modern for my chosen time period. I am trying to find a size to use on the side and roof of a Cuban sugar mill model circa 1930 - 1949.
