Subject: [CR]27 inch tubulars?

In line with this discussion on 700 cm and 27 inch wheels, I would like to ask about 27 inch tubulars. Currently, I have on Ebay an auction for a rear Campagnolo track wheel. The rim is Ava, and, I guess perhaps ignorantly, I would have assumed the rim was 700 cm, but the tire on it, a Contnental Sprinter tubular, reads, 27 inch by 22 mm. The rim does not have a label on it indicating its dimensionss. Were there such things as 27 inch tubular which fit on 700 cm rims or did they match a 27 inch tublar rim?

For the inordinately curious, though the pictures are not revealing enough to show much beyond what I stated in the previous paragraph, here is the site where the wheel can be seen:

Thank you for your help.
