Marty's right, MX 122
Think they are newly made products, you can spot them on the new retro Kuwas that were introduced in the Taipei bycycle show recently

They have been made since the mid to late 80's and have been more used on track bikes as they are NJS approved.  Someone posted up a DC Catalogue from about 86 that I'm pretty sure had them in but I can't find it at the moment!

Only discovered them recently, and don't remember them from BITD...  :-[

Here's the 86 catalog (must be somewhere in the tech/resto stickies though), didn't spot them MX122

I've never come across them either hence assuming them to be Tech Vs...you learn something new every day (and so on)
