What a great question Martin!
Hopefully this link will work for you:

I would post the patent itself but I seem to have trouble posting stuff. Hopefully you can download the PDF from that link. As someone stated earlier, it does not have dimensions, just a summary and diagram of his patent.
This patent number: 21051, is stamped on my Egan coach work plate. It is also dated the 5/7/29. Not sure if my car had this particular roof or it is stamped on every plate after 1929.
The roof structure at the moment seems to have the framing, then a thin bit of ply wood cut into 4 triangular sections so it can take the shape of the roof. There seems to be remnants of foam on the ply, so I am guessing it had a foam layer over the top and then material.
