Hi Nolan,
Here's the elevator at Gilson on the Peoria Sub. 10 miles SE of Galesburg.  I've modeled it using a Walthers wood sheathed elevator covered over using Campbell corrugated iron sheathing (simulated).  I'll measure my model and send a pic, but as I remember the sheathing on this elevator was put up with 6 ft. vertical exposure per sheet.  If you look at the small door on the facing side this comes out pretty close.  Being a carpenter all my life makes me a pretty good judge at estimating measurements.

A second shot shows the elevator at Yates City a little further down the line to Peoria.  This elevator appears to have it's sheathing exposed about 3 ft. to the weather.  As you can easily see there's no set dimension for the exposer except to say there was probably at least a 2 to 3" overlap.  Regular wood lap siding only has 1" of overlap.

I learned much from this series of eMails. I created a schematic (attached) from learned information. If anyone would like a .pdf or .jpg copy, let me know.
