About a year ago I dismantled a Knight front wheel, 35.0 x 19, to prepare a wheel for Sammy Miller's museum Black Knght. He had adverised in MPH for an exchange. Being brought up with the convention of never throwing anything away I still have the old, and rusty spokes from the dismantled wheel. I have checked them all and they all have an angle of more than 90 degrees between the spoke and the head. Like the photograph in MM's posting #15 above. I have not measured the angle but they all look like his photograph with 12.5 deg annotated. So far as I know this wheel was original from 1954.
