Or just take a couple of minutes to check the timeline, specifically the second entry for 1968:

Technically you may be right, but I think you're spliting hairs. The 144 cranks have always been called Nuovo Record, unless the rings were cut out, then Super Record. I'm talking about common language among users to specify differing products, like everyone calls hubs Tipos when technically they're Nuovo Tipos. Aren't they still selling Record labeled crankss? No one would suggest those were the same as 1958.
