Spoking patterns

Quoted message said:

Just for fun I was wanting to try some of the less-common
spoke lacings. I came across the 'crow's foot' pattern in
'The Bicycle Wheel' in which pairs of crossed spokes are
separated by a single radial spoke. In the illustration it
looks as if all the spokes are inserted in the hub 'heads
in'. Is this right?

Depends in the crossings used:

Not the way I did it. I had the non-radial spokes crossing
on either side of the radial spoke, the head-in one on the
inside. I think I did all the radial spokes head-in.

BTW, it was not a very reliable wheel.

Just curious, how did it reveal its unreliability? Did
something break (hub, spokes, rim) or did spokes loosen, or
what? Thanks.
