Subject: [CR]ID of Campagnolo SR & C Record BB cups

Hi all, after going thru my collection of parts, and inc some just recieved cups, an easy way I can tell is that SR have "Brev. Inter" markings and C Record have "MADE IN ITALY". I am sure there are other markings that have been posted, but as far as the ones that I can eyeball myself I have made my comments. Many thanx for all the inputs........

Wayne, While you may have made your comments, they provide little collaborative contribution in the context of the information that I was able to provide to you. It was you who initially posted the question, so I'd really like to hear from you how your later findings mesh with the info I gave you. I suspect that the small differnces in markings on my SR and early C-Record cups are not definitive indictors of which group the cups belong to, but rather just running changes in manufacture that do not correlate to the change in use of the 3/16" cup from SR to C-Rec. So, exactly how are your Brev. Inter (SR) cups marked? I'd like to know if they are the same as my SR cups, or perhaps the same as my early C-Rec cups. More importantly, did you note whether all the C-record cups were the 7/32" type? I'd like to know if any of the 3/16" cups got the 'Made in Italy" marking. If only the 7/32" type were marked this way, we might have any easy way to identify this important difference (an actual, mechanical difference). Without a 3/16" and 7/32" cup to hold side by side, it is hard to tell them apart, so it would be helpful if we could begin to confirm that the "Made in Italy" can be used to identify the 7/32" type.
