Re: Roof insert

Typical roof construction was a series of lateral wooden slats, then a layer of heavy woven "chicken wire" which also served as the radio antenna, then a layer of cotton batting, and finally the external cover which was a rubberized and rubber coating fabric with an external grain pattern, sold today as "Colonial Long Grain" or Colonial Short Grain".

There are pictures of the roof construction in the 1934 Salesman's Data Book, I'll scan later and edit.
