Ray,
You are correct they did make a derailleur it was
either called a "Red Star" or "Crimson Star" I can't
remember which. Yes and bright red nylon jockey
wheels, these had no cones and were easy to remove for
cleaning and TLC.
The good thing I can remember about the gear was that
it pivoted so that you could get it up and backwards
to get the wheel out easy. Also the toggle chain was
protected by a guard like a sleeve.
It could be used as a 3,4 or 5 speed on 1/8" or 3/32"
they were used a lot for replacements for 1/8" Cyclos
on tandems.
Best wishes Mick.
