Rich,
What you need is a Sutherlands third edition handbook. I say the third because it usually available cheaply ($35) and covers the full gamut of classic bike content. I suspect that later editions start to drop obscure stuff and the earlier versions have less information. It tell you how to interchange the various axles, cups and cranks and where your chainline ends up.

\r?\n> Ensnared in a common conundrum -
\r?\n>
\r?\n> Have a Campag NR/SR/GS bottom bracket.
\r?\n>
\r?\n> Do not have a Campag crank. So, a non-Campag may have to be
\r?\n> the alternative. The usual European suspects: Omas, Ofmega,
\r?\n> Galli, Gipiemme, Mavic, Zeus, long shots = Stronglight, TA (I do
\r?\n> not think the French are compatible).
\r?\n>
\r?\n> Can someone point me to a reliable cross-reference table ?
\r?\n>
\r?\n> Is there a reliable method for measuring the crank to
\r?\n> determine the required spindle spec' (ISO; JIC; proprietary: ?).
\r?\n>
\r?\n> Should I take a wax impression of the bore in the crank and
\r?\n> measure that for taper ?
\r?\n>
\r?\n> Thank you.
