A comprehensive report of Measuring procedures and statistical Analysis of Data on 147,000 American Children. By Ruth O'Brien and the United States Departement of Agriculture (1941). Price 60 cents.
Not directly overalls related this study but kind of. For everyone who wants to make his or her own overalls. Unfortunately no sewing patterns. Many tables and a list and description of what and how to measure. Also a questionnaire. I wonder why the names of the siblings, the income and thelike are of interest for measuring. Is this all for the industry? There is also a different study up to the recent years on how the growth changed. Some measurements are also important if you want to have tight or baggy pants.
Very funny are the photos (also showing some more, including young girls). I have a bit edited the pic.
