Subject: [CR]BB cutout on Raleigh track bikes

I'm starting to feel withdrawal pains since my track class ended last week, so I'm starting to look around for a track bike. Stopped at Larry Black's Mt. Airy shop today (man, does he have some nice stuff!) and been searching ebay. Looking at 70's Raleigh track bikes, the bottom bracket has a cutout in it that looks like some sort of design, but I can't make it out. Can anyone clue me in?

p.s. I'm looking for a classic track bike 54 -56cm center to center.
