These images of the Snipe are spectacular, they look like a period sales brochure, or advertisement in the equivalent of a 1918 version of Aerospace Weekly!
Joe,
Yes that's the joint rod. There is a tube between each joint box in the wings. The joint rod just slides in and is attached at the top of the trailing edge.

Cheers, Nick
