I think chuck makes no claim as to when something was "introduced", I think he simply reports about when items appeared in the print catalogue illustrations.

Be careful about the date of introduction of the Porta Catena ("door chain") dropouts. My 1977 carlton pro with 1977 serial number and haden concorde lugs has Porta Catena dropouts.

In a similar vein, my all-original 1966 Carlton flyer has "no record" hubs, although Chuck claims that the word "Record" was added to the hub barrels in 1963.
