Wayne,

I apologize for being severely time constrained (...hence my relative brevity), but you may wish to review the following information previously posited to the CR List and now found in the archives:

... in addition to a digital scan from the 1977 Lyotard catalog conveniently found on Velo-Pages:

As for its production run, the 460-D dates back to at least the 1950's and they were produced almost unchanged well into the 1980's. Of course, there are several subtle means of approximating (...or altering appearances to suit one's specific needs) the relative production era of a given Lyotard 460-D pedal, not the least of which are discernable differences in dust caps as well as the flats and profile on their spindle.
