For that matter what of cyclometers (mechanical as well)? What was in use in what years (as are appropriate for the list)?

On my 1982 Trek 728, I still use the "Cat Eye Velo Cyclo Computer CC-1000". I think it is an an '82, though I bough tit in '83. The computer is large and weighs over 1/4 pound. It uses the 12 cm white plastic-like magnetic ring that attaches to the spokes and encircles the hub flange. Was this the first "Cat Eye" computer? Fairly ugly and inelegant, but period correct.
