Barker's Snipe -rigging wires what size?

[Ernie]

Egads!  I'm so far behind in this subject that I will be coughing dust for a week.
  However, it will be very interesting to see how you fellows make out. Carry on, my
modelling heroes. 

Cheers,

Found this image online - wish it was easier to read but maybe you can pull out the sizes from it with a magnifying glass?

      Looks as though petrov27 has found what is needed. 

   As an aside and addendum to my last post, I also used the PE wire in the cockpit interior, the cross wires in the upper wing above the cockpit, and the tail planes with excellent results. I can only conclude there is flexing between the wings causing the bowing of the wires. If I were to try the PE wires again I wonder if running them through the lower wing, drawing them taught with weight, and gluing would work?

Good find Petrov thankyou.

Interesting to note that the date of the drawing is 1925 , and that there is a comment that " complete set of wires should be tried up on machine before large quantities are made".

Looks as if they were making a new batch of wires perhaps of a strengthened variety?

I also presume the dimensions provided on the drawing wouldnt be too far away from an in service machine from 1918...-at least not in 1/32 scale!

Once again many thanks for the information.
