I think they were still called Record. The Nuovo Record name seems to apply to only a few things: Rear Derailleurs, BBs, seatposts, are the only components that I know were labeled as NR. I think the cranks, pedals, hubs, ft ders, shifters, and brakes that are generally called NR were labeled as Record. This is only based on the markings on the boxes I have in my basement. What other parts had the NR name?
Would you agree that the loop on the 1037 was deleted well after the 1971 intro of the 1037A?
