apparently way back in the early 1900's they also made a fixed gear 3 speed, from what I read

some of it is here : http://hadland.wordpress.com/
I think that original 3 speed fixed hub remained in some limited production for decades until the 1960s or 1970s according to an article I read some time ago. The new version is totally reengineered, from what I understand, and is not a copy of the old hub.
