A question for the experts:

Hi folks,

I've been looking at all the pictures I can find on the web of the Siemens-Schuckert EI. I can'tquite figure out the post arrangement for the flying wires.

From all the past pictures I have seen, I always thought the flying wire post had 3 legs like a tripod- 2 in front and one behind. However, one picture I've seen looks like the rear post goes to the side of the fuselage. (I still don't see a visible 4th leg however.)

So... is it 3 legs or 4?

Structurally 4 makes more sense to me... does anyone have any good information on this?
