Another variation of the venerable Weinmann Vainqueur 999 centerpull has a
guide attached to the back of the front arm. The guide is stamped "Mod.
dep." and its purpose seems to be to equalize the movement between the two
arms. I uploaded pictures at http://home.comcast.net/~keiko5/weinmann1.jpg
and http://home.comcast.net/~keiko5/weinmann2.jpg. These brakes have double
springs and "WEINMANN VAINQUEUR 999" stamped into inset part of arm (not
foil label). These came off of a mid 60's Lygie.
