All the following gleaned from the Timeline (are you guys even bothering to read this stuff?): 1956 -- The Gran Sport pedal (steel quill with strap loop) is introduced. 1967 -- Record pedals (name change) 1971 -- Superleggero pedals with black anodized aluminum cages and plastic dust caps 1974 -- Super Record, titanium spindles for pedals

No such thing as a Nuovo Record pedal that I'm aware of. There was a Gran Sport pedal when Gran Sport was the cheap stuff in the 1980s (stamped "Gran Sport" on the barrel).
