Nissen Hut

Spent the morning in Edinburgh at a meeting but didn't see anything very blip worthy.

I like corrugated iron buildings. This Nissen Hut is on the local farm in Cambuskenneth. I had thought that Nissen Huts were WW2 vintage but wikipedia says:
'Between April 16 and April 18, 1916, Major Peter Norman Nissen of the 29th Company Royal Engineers of the British Army began to experiment with hut designs. Nissen, a mining engineer and inventor, constructed three prototype semi-cylindrical huts. The semi-cylindrical shape was derived from the drill-shed roof at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario (collapsed 1896). At least 100,000 were produced in World War I.[3]

Nissen patented his invention in the UK in 1916 and patents were taken out later in the United States, Canada, South Africa and Australia. Nissen received royalties from the British government, not for huts made during the war, but only for their sale after the conflict. Nissen got some £13,000 and the DSO (Distinguished Service Order).

Although it seems I was wrong to associate these with the second world war, todays tune is from that era. I am sure that they were still in widespead use then. Play
