My 3rd edition Sutherlands says Viscount (Lambert follow-on) was the same extractor thread as Campagnolo but that early Lambert were threaded 7/8" by 24 TPI. This implies that some Lambert cranks also used the Campagnolo type threading so there is hope!

So what is the value of a Lambert 7/8" by 24 TPI extractor with no supply and no demand (except maybe Jerry)?

Maybe the extractor is unnecessary- just loosen the bolts, ride the cranks and they fall off!
