edi,

the rigging instructions of the metropolitan caudron g 3 show double lines
running through pulleys at the bottom of the rear middle interplane strut to
the top of the rear outer strut. vice versa a single line runs from the
outer rear strut bottom to a pulley on the middle rear strut top forward
underneath the wing to the other side, where everything happens again ...
