Subject: [CR]Re: Campy or Carlton "C".

I sought enlightenment and i got it, I defer to Ted Ernst's intimate knowle dge. The "C" on my seatpost bolt is slightly  slimmer than that on my Velox, but man! they're a LOT alike! Photo upun request. So, the Velox and GT appear in the early '70s about a decade after Raleigh's acquisition of C arlton. Each has  "C" bolts remarcably like the Carlton sp bolt/axle n uts. Was Campy jus trying to assert it's right or primacy to the use of the
   letter as an identifying logo? They show a couple which i presume were tra demarked, at the beginning of Catalog 17a. Or was it just a coincidence? [A
   BIG coincidence as Seinfeld would say.] Billy [getting used to being wrong
