To the best of my knowledge they were patterned for rising birds... so, 18" wide and 24" high would likely have been the way the pattern board or target was measured.

If the patterns dispersed fairly equal across the 18x24 piece of paper it’s just as good in practical application as a 30” circular target . We have guys at our club that are anal about patterning their tube sets in all gauges . Center of pattern in relation to the aiming point was always more important to me then how many pellets were in this quadrant or that quadrant . Plus the fact that patterns on paper are ONE dimensional and an actual load of shot in the air isn’t .
