Baseboard BTU ouputs

For the older(more experienced) of us. My house was built in 1958 and I believe the baseboard manufacturer was Tuttle & Bailey. A regional SE Pa. company no longer around. The element is 3" tall by 2 1/2 inches wide with the enclosure 10" floor to top of same. This was known as high style or high output. Does anyone have acess to the BTU figures or could point the way to them.

Many thanks

    I've always used the Slant Fin numbers to be close enough for horse shoes or hand grenades. You can average out Sterling and any other one you can find. But if you average the similar types, it will be close enough. Its the water temperature that is the most important.
