help I was building up a set of 1940s Schwinn rims with the original hub and rim. The spokes are the same ones that came out I did 4 cross but every 4th spoke comes through about 5 threads and now needs to be cut.

It runs true and has no hops I am just confused why the 4th spoke all the way around is shorter???
