Let's talk corrugated iron! I always assumed that the folded nature of this material helped the rain drain off my shed roof. Well it does but the corrugation of the "wrinkly tin" adds strength stopping it from sagging in the middle. This would happen to a flat piece of sheeting. I was ignorant of this until I listened to a "In Our Time" podcast this week on the life of German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss.I glazed over with some of the theories but apparently his maths prove that a sphere is less likely to collapse than a flat surface. OK, I have exhausted my knowledge on this subject now, so ask me no questions.Talking of podcasts, does anyone listen to the Martin Bailey podcasts. Clearly a knowledgeable photographer but I can't listen to him when I'm driving. Something about his voice is soporific-maybe just me!
