The Giant and the File is a charming read , translated into English from florid Italian . The photographs are just the kind we like to see .A Campagnolo obsessive will find that the historical and technical info is very vague with no hard date facts .One fact is mentioned fairly often : Fratelli Brivio were indeed the actual producers of the early mozzi calibrati .A strong precedent for later subcontractors . I found my copy in unread condition at the local flea market offered by someone who was apparently an industry insider judging by his spread of Euro parts . Seth Finkelstein of Santa Cruz CA
