That's a really nice drawing. Are there a lot of other similar drawings?

john - here is the link to the site where I found them:

I'm trying to stick to Nieuport research but there are some good Fokker and other aircraft sketches there too.
Regarding the splines, I'll have to read up Rozendaal's descriptions but as John McK said the spars used ply splines so I tend to think the struts were the same.
