thanks to duane and mark, i found this chestnut from the scan-a-thon:
http://bulgier.net/
it is my 1976 brochure, referencing allen-keyed brake fittings. and i know that they weren't brand spankin' new then. SO... i change my vote to 1975 as the year that they were first seen. i'm convinced! also-there are no pictures in this brochure, but IT IS 26+ years old. please find something in it to criticize! <G> insert stupid smiley face! :>) :>) :>) :>) :>)
