All the close up photos I have that show the knotting under the rib tapes
show it to be uniform spacing, and spaced about the width of on of the
outboard interplane struts at thier full thickness, not where they taper
down at the connection points.
BTW... the tapes are NOT pinked. Standard practice for Nieuport was to use
a sliced tape, and pull some threads out at the edges to fray it a bit.
