Is This Wheel Built Correctly?

Recently picked up a pretty old Raleigh road bike ('62-'63), and noticed the spokes never really crossed over (hard to describe, please see pictures). In fact, no two spokes ever touch each other, and they certainly don't go in an under-over pattern. Problem? Not? Safe to ride? Thanks for any help. I can deal with most maintenance issues, but wheels are my weak point.
Oh yeah, I should add that both wheels are built the same way, and seem structurally sound...
