Mine is the 4th edition. The 5th is now out
The Brown Brothers 1952 catalogue is not showing anything beyond the TDF rear derailleur and the rod front derailleur. V-CC version and the clearer Dawes-man's version by occasional contributing member M.O.H.
Items from the V-CC Library were previously available to non-members for a small fee for each file, but that charge was removed. The cost is borne by members. The only publications now restricted to members are The Boneshaker and News and Views. There are some excellent contributions there and all back issues are scanned and online. They are fully searchable.
I am a member.
What we need is access to the "Half a Century of Development in Simplex Derailleurs" prepared by Raymond Henry and presented at The Sixth International Cycle History Conference (1995). (and reported in N&V 249:47). I see there is a V-CC member by that name, and I have sent an email.
[Edit: and I have had a reply from Raymond Henry, who has included a series of photos of his 1995 paper. I will read and report back]
