Subject: [CR]front derailleur braze on...

I remember, but i don't quite recall...The frame i am working on, a late

60's early 70's Raleigh, has a cable braze on on the down tube designed

as a cable housing stop cupping down to the bottom bracket. somewhere, in the dark recesses of my mind, i remember that there were front dérailleurs that had the other end housing stop integrated with the dérailleur (like rear dérailleurs). Of course, this was the late 60's and memories are rather 'fuzzy' from that time period. Did this style of FD in fact exist and are there any good pictures that shows both this mechanism and the cable routing?
