Hi All, I have an original 1953 Gillott Continental with the early Campag
ends. The adjuster screw diameter is 3.7mm, with a simple slot cut in the
end. I.E. no end cap. You can see these larger diameter adjuster screws in
the No11 "Cognin" catalogue, a copy of which I sent to Chuck for repro a
couple of years ago. This must date to 1951 or 52.
Cat,.No 12 is dated 1953 and the smaller screw dia,. with end cap is
shown. So the adjusters were reduced from 3.7 to 3.0mm probably due to
breakages across the screw hole. So Tom, check your adjuster screws'
diameter. If they are 3,7 mm you have the early type and they are certainly
original.
