I am not sure if this is the same "Proctor/Townsend" as the OP is talking about.
Brad Proctor and Bob Townsend had a small custom and production bike business that was based out of a shop in Edmonton Alberta.
Nice bikes, I recently traded a frame/fork in a deal for a racing tandem and I have another NOS F/F that I had painted and then the fork destroyed by a shop
