Re: [CR] Classicrendezvous Digest, Vol 82, Issue 156

Joel Metz of blackbirdsf.com has a similar page for brakes: Less a comprehensive collection, and more of a collection of oddball brakes.

http://www.blackbirdsf.org/brake_obscura/

This is in addition to his other stuff, including a detailed survey of TA components, and a variety of older French stuff (Herse, Singer, Lefol, Jos, Maxi-Car, smaller framebuilders).
