From a 1969-70 "Bike Riders Aids" catalog published by the Holdsworthy Co, London (thanks Hilary)

"NUOVO RECORD GEAR" "Lightest in the world." "The latest example of Italian supremacy is made from a new alloy developed for use in rocketry. Fantastically light, the mechanism weighs only 7 1/4 ozs. Designed to encompass a range of 13-36T, an extra length tension spring is caried in a close fitting sleeve, giving full support to the toothed Nylon sprockets. widely spaced parallel arms, plus increased chain wrap and tension, allow the gear to operate over six speed freewheels."
