Following the thread last week on early alloy cranks, I was surprised to see that the TA pattern came into being so recently. I would have thought it to date back at least another 10 years prior to it's actual intro date. Along those lines, I recently purchased an early cottered aluminum crank from Hilary that I would like to know more about. Everything about it says 1950's, which would put it ahead of the TA pattern.

Can anybody shed some light on this early French aluminum crank??
