I am trying to understand how TE probes are connected. I've searched the literature but apparently have not found the description I'm looking for.

Are the fuselage static ports connected (used in any way ) in an Irving TE probe is installed?

My question is more general. Can anyone provide an overview of all the TE, triple probe, etc. options and maybe their history?

There are so many shapes and sizes and I've always wondered how and why that came to be and what advantages and disadvantages they each carry.
