1 thread per mm. However, if both cups are threaded right-hand (as Italian) then it's French; if they're threaded adjustable cup right-hand / fixed cup left-hand (as British), then it's Swiss. I have no knowledge if Campagnolo made Swiss threaded cups, others may know.

I've seen it at <http://fixedgear.americancyclery.com/Store/Rim_Cement>, but I don't know of anyone who uses it. BTW, for those who do like track bikes, another shop <http://www.businesscycles.com/>, has many rare or hard to find items.
