Sure, I wasn't saying the SGR-1 was the first clipless pedal, only that it was Campagnolo's first clipless pedal, and came out before Campagnolo licensed the Look design.
The Cinelli M71 was really only useful for velodrome racing, and even then worked better with a toe strap, and had a really high platform as well. Interesting idea, but not very practical.
