Spoke order to Ariel 4F 1932

[marwsk]

I'm trying to order spokes for my Cammy and have a little problem. Not all spokes are original on my bike.
Parts Catalog says:

Front:
4543-32: 8 1/2x10Gx80°
4541-32: 6 3/4x8Gx80°
Rear:
4546-32: 6 1/2x8Gx80°
4547-32: 8 5/8x10Gx80°

The spokes I have have 90°and only, short in the front wheel 80 degrees. Is this correct? What does it look like in the original wheels?

Strangely I think you will find that the parts book is correct. Ariel did make the odd error but it was pretty rare. There is little difference between 80 and 90 degree spokes and in practice either can be used, my old wheel builder used to tension the spokes and hit the heads with a hammer to make sure they were seated properly, he would also tweak the head angle in the vice!
