The Wilson document in question is available from the Strathspey Server (in 
PDF, thanks to the US Library of Congress), at

  http://www.strathspey.org/history/wilson-system.pdf

The description of »the double triangle« is on page 155 of the PDF.

For those of you who are understandably loth to download a 9-MB PDF file, I 
have put up the relevant bit at

picture.
