Trilby bridle details; anyone remember?

Hi All,

 Trying to resurrect some Trilbys, both single- and as a stack. The framing is all here, but the original bridles are gone. Does anyone know the measurements, have photos, or copies of the original instructions? Thanks in advance!

I have a stack on my kite shelf in the garage. I will see if it is a Tribly and if so, will get some picts and measurements. Hang in there.

Oh, well. It turns out I have the Peter Powell stunt kites so I cannot help you. Best of luck.

I have several stacks of Trlbys I can take photos of.  However, it will have to wait until the Hurricane passes.  I'm kind of pre-occupied now.

Thank you! And be safe down there!

Any thoughts on this?

Sorry about not seeing this earlier. Been out of the wind for too long. 

NOTE: this bridle is the "special" bridle for trains. The kite in the pic is the lead kite, i.e. the yellow vertical spar. 

The top 2 measure 39 inches from knot to knot, and the bottom 2 measure 43 inches.

If you only fly 3 or 4 kites, you can use the normal setup, it just wears out faster. Sorry I don't have a normal bridle out to measure.
