From PATENT to BREV?

Now *this* is what we need more of on CR!

My guesstimate: 1979-80 , i.e. after the CPSC-mandated changes in mid-1977, and after the supply of 378,653 "Patent" ones ran out. I've got NOS 1978 cranks that are all "Patent" hardware, and NOS 1981 cranks that are all "Brev."

Anyone else have a SWAG or better?
