I bought a pile of Campy bottom bracket parts at Westminster. A single spindle, clearly marked for 3/16" balls, with the appropriate balls in cages.

It also had a bunch of bb cups (all old-style, before helical grooves and thick walls). Some have an extra mark, so they read 36 x 24 F, followed by a T in a triangle. They look like the ones that don't have the T in the triangle.

Anyone know the difference?

How were the cups for the 3/16" balls marked, or did they use the same cups?

Thanks!
