Was there any such thing as a Swiss adjustable cup? The dimensions and thread are identical to French. The BB width was the same also. So the term "Swiss thread" applies only to the fixed cup. I don't think I've ever seen a "Swiss" ajustable cup of any brand that was designed or marked differently from the French adjustable cup of the same model.
