What model are these weinman centerpulls? http://www.pbase.com/distracticon/misc

Instead of a straddle cable, they have solid links riveted to the arms and the center piece where the cable clamps. Springs feel lighter than the vainqueur models. They stop ok, despite being a bit long for this frame.

I can't figure out if they are forged or cast. The finish looks forged, but the 'sprue' line twists 90 degrees right above the pad slot. This twist suggests they were bent after forging, or they are cast.

Any experience with these?

thanks, Craig Sandvik Berkeley, CA
