[WWI] How big is a sheet of wood?

[Collins, Graham]

Ahh, Tuesday's.


"This morning I had a wonderful dream. By holding my arms out stiff and
pushing down hard, I found I could suspend myself a few feet above
ground. I flapped harder, and soon I was soaring effortlessly over the
trees and telephone poles! I could fly! I folded my arms back and zoomed
low over the neighborhood. Everyone was amazed, and they ran along under
me as I shot by. Then I rocketed up so fast that my eyes watered from
the wind. I laughed and laughed, making huge loops in the sky! ...
That's when Mom woke me up and said I was going to miss the bus if I
didn't get my bottom out of bed; 20 minutes later, here I am, standing
in the cold rain, waiting to go to school, and I just remembered I
forgot my lunch. Tuesdays don't start much worse than this."

Doesn't answer you question however.

Looking at the scale models in my previous post parked on wood tables
made me think up an odd question:

A standard sheet of production plywood or sheet rock in the US is 4 feet
by 8 feet.  (1.219M x 2.438M)  What sizes to most European building
materials come in?

Yes, it's a quet Tuesday AM.
