The following is from the Campagnolo Timeline at http://www.velo-retro.com

1956 -- The Gran Sport pedal (steel quill with strap loop) is introduced. In July a headset and a micro-adjust seat post are introduced (steel post and steel head brazed together), along with a seat positioning/leveling tool (maintains saddle position when changing seat post) are introduced, followed in August by the Gran Sport rear derailleur with the lower body and outer cage revised and a shallow spring cage cover.
