Spoking patterns

[Nigel Grinter]

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?

Thanks for any help.

Depends in the crossings used:

Dear Ronald,

Thanks for referring me to that site.

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