Canadain Welded Wide Flange shapes form the 1970's

Canadain Welded Wide Flange shapes form the 1970's

(OP)
Does anyone have the dimensions (flange thickness etc.) of a steel section noted on the drawings as 27"x16" WWF 178? WWF of course stands for Welded Wide Flange. The revision column on the drawings say 1974 to 1977. I have a 1973 CISC Steel Handbook with WWF's in it but there is no WWF in it that is close to this Section, nor is there in the current CISC Handbook. I seem to recall that Algoma put out a catalogue of their WWF's. Can anyone help me here? I want to know the thickness so that we can clean the rust off and measure the remaining flange thickness and see how much thickness that we have lost. Does anyone have an old catalogue?
