David,
The twin plate fork crown was used on initial production in California. If Brian's around maybe he can fill us in with some dates.
I was superceded by the sand cast "box" crown that has a flat top perpendicular to the steerer.
I once built a fork for myself with that fork crown. I understand why it was not used for long!
Later, Jim

While I'm currently high bidder, I don't expect anybody to hold back just because of that--please don't hold back--I don't need another bike, but I can't control myself.........Lou Deeter, Orlando FL
