Very Nice, Stu. Wiggly Tin To The Fore!
For those (like me) who are fascianted by the variety and ingenuity of human industry, the Quonset differs from the Nissen so:
The principal difference between the two was in the wall system. In the T-Rib Quonset, the interior wallboards were Masonite®. Its exterior was corrugated metal panels lapped and mounted to wood purlins with a core layer of paper insulation. The Nissen hut, on the other hand, had a more complicated system of corrugated metal panels both inside and out and depended solely on the air space between the two for its thermal barrier. T-Rib Quonsets instantly provided U.S. troops with a greater level of comfort than could be provided by tents with wooden platforms typically used at that time.
Quonset: the Nissen Huts’ American Cousin…
