Wire mesh
(OP)
Could someone provide information or link for
3/0 – 11 wire mesh used as concrete slab reinforcing in the 1920's.
I would like to understand the description 3/0 – 11.

RE: Wire mesh
3/0 is the steel wire gage for principal reinforcement (called carrying wire) with diameter of 0.3625 inches.
11 is the steel wire gage for the cross wires (called distributing wire). Its diameter is 0.1205 inches
The spacing of these wires is probably noted or dimensioned on the drawings.
See the the information beginning on page 45 of the 1918 "Concrete Engineers' Handbook", at this link:
