N4KG correctly told us about the proper way to use interlaced elements.
There was an excellent
article by W9LT in CQ (Jan 1976) that empirically showed the relationships
between elements on the same boom.
Lemar did this before all the modeling programs were available or even a
thought (except on mainframes or DEC).
The chart and summary of findings are very interesting.   Sure points out
possible interactions and shows us that
the gain figures claimed by many antenna manufacturers were pure fiction.
