On a related note the Museum of Berkshire Aviation near Reading, one hour west of London, has some examples of lacing on display.
They have quite a few parts from a Chevaline / Polaris missile and what struck me the most was the quality of construction. It was just fascinating to see the level of engineering involved, including the cable lacing.

A few years ago when I was starting to do some soldering after a break of many years I came across the NASA Standard. Much like the lacing document another poster linked to, the level of detail is mind blowing.
