Last night I was dreaming about a sale at an closed manufacturing plant. Looking through the offices, I found a small room containing a huge cabinet/desk full of mechanical drafting equipment - fancy french curves, compass sets, pens, small capsules for pencil leads, all set into felt-lined leather cases. Lots of nice rose-gold detailing. In one drawer of the cabinet there were some mystery items, and I spotted the familiar "CAMPAGNOLO" name written in a circle on some flat chrome pieces.
As I rummaged further I found two boxes full of outer parallelogram plates for Campy rear derailleurs, but they were dull gray and not shaped quite right. I thought "these look wrong" and paused the dream long enough to correct the parts, changing them into accurately shaped bright-chrome "Gran Sport" pieces.
After that I was able to continue the dream without further distractions.
And no, I don't know what 1950s Campy parts have to do with the drafting office.
