Subject: Looking for Details of Globe Construction

Does anyone have an idea where I could get some details on how early
globes were constructed? I'm looking in particular for details on what the
spheres are made of and how they are built and mounted on their spindles.
There's plenty on the 'net about how the map gores are constructed, but
I'm finding very little on the mechanical and physical featuress of what's
under the paper.
TIA,
