I believe that 40x60 posters are referred to in pressbooks as, oddly enough, 40x60. They are always rolled and printed on heavy stock card.
 
I suppose anybody can call them whatever they wish, but the problem with calling them Two Sheets is that that name is already used to describe another size poster !!  At least !
 
As I pointed out in my previous post, Bruce Hershenson explains that there is a 41x54 single sheet, folded paper stock, known as a Two Sheet that was used in the 40's and 50's.
 
There is also the so-called SUBWAY POSTER, AKA TWO SHEET that comes in a single sheet, folded paper stock, and in a Horizontal layout, art wise, and it measures 59x45, or less frequently 54x41.

Jon must have coined this terminology. I have never heard it used by National Screen or anyone else. I also thought that two sheet's would have to be on paper stock. Well like Joe E. Brown said in "Some Like It Hot" NOBODY'S PERFECT!!!
