Falck (sometimes spelled Falk) was an Italian industrial steel tubing manufacturer who also made bicycle tubing. They were commonly found on higher end (but not super high-end semi-custom) mass produced Italian bikes in the 60's. There is not a lot of information out there on them. I'm not sure about the "who" but I would guess names like Atala, Bottecchia, Frejus, Legnano, Olmo, Torpado, etc. and probably NOT brands like Cinelli, De Rosa, Masi, and the like.
