Later... ...yup, just checked on the one here. Tenor bridge has singles on the bass side up to where they are no longer under the bass strings, then it goes back and forth left/right _3_ times in about 8 unisons. Top two sections are loops. Basically, it looks like the great effort is made to keep all the waste lengths parallel all the way from bridge to hitchpin. German loops are coiled different directions depending on whether they are on the left or right, just to make the wires parallel. Hope this helps.
