My wife's '79 Paramount came with the CPSC calipers, but had globe logo hoods. It also came with a sort of transitional hub QR skewer, which was just the older NR skewer with a bent lever. It looks like something done to a standard straight lever, as it is not the smooth curve of the domed adjuster skewer.

\r?\n> An awful lot of this is already in my Campagnolo Timeline; for example

\r?\n> the entry for 1978:

\r?\n>

\r?\n> 1978 - C.P.S.C. (Consumer Product Safety Commission) mandates changes to

\r?\n> NR/SR. Included are a front derailleur lip, 1.5 mm increase in spacing

\r?\n> between crank spider and arm to clear the front derailleur lip with

\r?\n> corresponding increase in bottom bracket axle length, a curved quick

\r?\n> release lever and ball-end added to quick release conical adjuster,

\r?\n> dome-shape added to quick release cam lever on brake calipers, plastic

\r?\n> covering added to the wheel guides on the brake shoes, and plastic

\r?\n> safety-shields added to rear derailleur screws. Logo on brake hoods

\r?\n> changed from "world" style to "shield" style. The word "Patent" is

\r?\n> changed to "Brev." on the chainring, chainring bolts and crank dust cap.

\r?\n> Tullio Campagnolo is bestowed with the Stella D'Oro (Golden Star) award

\r?\n> by the C.O.N.I. (Italian National Olympic organization) for his

\r?\n> contributions to sport.

\r?\n>

\r?\n> I would be more than ecstatic if someone would volunteer some new info!!!
