Prindle 16 boom - questions about rigging

These images are of my 1982 Prindle 16 boom before I replaced any hardware, rivets, line, or anything. My intention is to ask questions in the forum about these photos, how to correctly rig the boom, whether there's supposed to be any internal rigging, spring cord, or anything like that, and then post more images later when I have it re-rigged the right way.
