pedal steel pickups

Hi does anybody know where I can find specs for
pedal steel pickups and bobbins?

I'm planning to build a D10 or D12 for some self inflicted torment. I cant seem to find much info
on pedal steels I've heard that Emmons is a good
design but I'm sure there must be many others too
I guess brand isnt all that important at this point
as I'm building from scratch with a couple of books
I managed to scare up . Any help at all would be really helpfull since the books dont cover pickups
THANKS BOB
