Spoking patterns

Quoted message said:

Just for fun I was wanting to try some of the less-common spoke
lacings. I came across the 'crow's foot' pattern in 'The Bicycle
Wheel' in which pairs of crossed spokes are separated by a single
radial spoke. In the illustration it looks as if all the spokes are
inserted in the hub 'heads in'. Is this right?

Depends in the crossings used:

Not the way I did it. I had the non-radial spokes crossing on either
side of the radial spoke, the head-in one on the inside. I think I did
all the radial spokes head-in.

BTW, it was not a very reliable wheel.

Just curious, how did it reveal its unreliability? Did something break
(hub, spokes, rim) or did spokes loosen, or what? Thanks.
