Does the use of round fork blades fall in the category of "rarely used"? Or, are they more common than that? I gather from Greg's note that Hetchins is known for them. Are there other builders that are regularly identified with round forks?
I know dave moulton used them on his Criterium model.

Hi list members. The recent couple of obscure builder information requests reminded me that I have an English frame that I know nothing about. Nor have I been able to discover anything about it on the web. It's a H.R. Daycock frame. The headstock transfer states an address of "Roman Road London E 2". It's built with Nervex pro lugs, and Campy long eyeletted dropouts {the fairly early ones with the extra little hole on the derailleur side}. The number 1312 is faintly stamped on the B.B. shell. It appears to be a nicely built; quite conventional , road frame , The only real departure from normal form is that it uses round fork blades like a Hetchins . I believe it dates from the late 1950's to early 1960's. Can anyone provide any information ?
Thanks!
