yes building procedure is pretty much the same, though most 40h rims were traditionally built 4x i think..
if you work best visually, it should be pretty easy to find an old english 3-speed for a look-see; most i've seen have 40h 4x wheels in the rear..

information about lacing them up. I'm planning on using a standard 3x
pattern, and have done many 32 and 36 spoke wheels already, but am
wondering if there's any additional information I should have before I start.
