I will be happy to send it out, but I will be away from the computer for the next few days working on building halberds. A subject which I am getting very familiar with. Do you also build crossbows?

There is a book regarding the medieval crossbow by Egon Harmuth, called Die Armbrust. I used to tell people that I read a bit of German and am absolutely fluent in crossbowese, so the book made perfect sense even though it was in very technical German, not conversational. The Joseph Alm book, in Swedish, I believe, was also as easily understood. A basic understanding of the topic can go a very long way in understanding writings in almost every culture...

The book "La vielle a roue" written by Michael Pignol, for sale from Pascal Caranga's site or available through AMTA (I think), has a lot of information in it. Including the effects of placement of the main bridge in the regards to the wheel. The problem here being that it is all in French. If you are seriously working on the research you will have to translate the pages. I can scan the pertinent pages and send them to you for private use only. I don't think it will be a problem with the copy write. I do suggest that you get a copy of the book for general information. If you pick out a few words you can get much of the basics from the book and there are a lot of good diagrams and measurements.
