Steven-
Most of the 626/A's that I have say
BREV. CAMP.
At least one that I have says
BREV.INT.
CAMPAGNOLO
On the 636's, I have owned literally hundreds of these,
and I have never seen any CAMPAGNOLO marking- they have
always been completely unmarked. I'd say that your marked
one is pretty rare and earlier.

I am trying to date a Cinelli mod. B frame that I have. I know that it
dates from the early to mid 1960's, but would like to narrow the age
range even further. It had a Campagnolo Record derailleur with metallic
pulley wheels (the ones with the cones and ball bearings), so it would
seem to be from the 1963-66 period, as it would seem that the plastic
pulley wheels came out in about 1966-67. It also has a Campagnolo double
cable guide fitted at the BB, part 626/A. This is the one that no longer
has the little tube on the right and cable stop on the left (part 626),
but rather the simple loop guide on the right and double loop guide on
the left. This part came out sometime between catalogues 14 and 15
(between 1960 and 1967). What caught my eye however was the fact that
this one is marked differently than all the other ones that I have. On
the left side this one is marked:
Brev. Int.
Camp
whereas all the others I have seen are marked
Brev. Camp.
Can anybody supply some more data points that could possibly further pin
down when the change occurred regarding the cable guide?
On a somewhat related point, were the chainstay cable guides, Campagnolo
part number 636, all marked Campagnolo? I have two that outwardly
identical, one is marked and another isn't.
