First let me apologise to Jan. I did not intend to take custom away from your no doubt excellent magazine. (BTW how much is an overseas sub and could I paypal?) I did check your website and didn't see any reference to the pages from 1946-7. I had intended to send you scans or a disc for your site but I am currently out of work and what with eBay and a healthy dose of necessity I took the advice of a friend and listed them. They are 1st generation photocopies from bound volumes belonging to an old friend. The paper has stayed remarkably white considering the age and acid content. I guess they have been kept out of the light too. Secondly the object Bob refers to is a front luggage rack with twin headlights in hammered aluminium (dural martele) by Luxor. I hope you don't think I am drumming up trade here but drawing No9 from the November 1947 "Salon" shows a Campagnolo quick release with a cross-hatched texture to the lever, no Campag logo. Are there any earlier illustrations of ANYTHING Campagnolo? It seems hard to believe that Tullio and his albeit small company were making items from the mid 1930's and no photos or drawings exist apart from the patents.
