If you look at http://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/bikes/neil-carlton-rb.h tml, you'll see my 1939 Carlton Flyer, a model which was described in the c atalogue as "The last woed in hand-built racing machines", which, in this c ase, meant time trials. The frame geometry is quoted as 75 head, 73 seat, with 73/73 optional, and if you study the photo, the toe clip overlap will be evident!
