On related topic of drum brakes--sturmey archer K drum came out in 1931.T.F.Blumfield also made drum brakes.I guess a lot of others too but these two I have.Also Mick send a set of tandem drums with the Russ,but the chrome was in poor condition and I haven't had time to work on them.Haven't found any I.D. on them.They are large and heavy. English ribbed forks date to the early 1900(1909?).Best example are the ones on Sheldon brown's Mead.I think they were built in Liverpool as this is where Mead had a factory(?)but I haven't found any more info on these. sam lingo,pleasanton tx
