A funny fact is that in the 17a catalog the super record track group the headset code is 4141 but has the apperance of the regular super record road headset 4041 could be a typo

I seem to recall the design logic was associated with the use of loose ball bearings and its larger contact surface/points. Some how this made for a m ore robust design for the track. This answer was given me when I was consi dering a SR HS on my track bike back in 1981. I ended up taking this advice but not sure I would do it again.
