Now I'm totally lost. What's an armature-type pattern?
The ribs I have are just salvaged from the old bellows - they're styled like this (nabbed from:
this page):
Zigzag ribs on the top & bottom faces, blunt-ended ribs on the other two. But tapered instead of square, obviously.
If there's an easier way than building a pattern around reusing my old stiffeners, which are kind of brittle anyway being 100 years old, I'm open to suggestions.
