they abbreviated the 'inter' to 'int.' when they went from normal reach to short reach. what i mean is when they added the short reach to the product line. there's not enough room for all the letters in the shorter arms. there are a very few short reach to be found that say 'brev. inter'. are they the rarest of the rare?
re: the cams. my oldest boxed sets from 1970 or so have the cams that say 'brev. camp.' around the perimeter. so do my mid 70s short reach sets. but i have many that say 'campagnolo' spelled out around the perimeter and 'brev.' horizontally across the middle and these sets are normal reach/flat skewer/uncoated wheel guides/world logo hoods making these earlier rather than later. my guess is both markings ran concurrently. that's all i know. e-RICHIE n.r.f.b.
