Huret Jubillee rear derailleur - what will it connect to?
As part of a small parts lot, I recently acquired this Huret Jubilee rear derailleur:
What derailleur hangers will it work with? I ask mostly because I just saw this eBay auction for a reproduction adapter which allows it to connect to Campy, SunTour, and Shimano hangers:
Is the derailleur Huret-only out of the box? Will it work with a Simplex hanger as one would find on a PX-10?

Good job on finding the adaptor kit! 
The difference between Huret and Campag is the difference between 4 o'clock and 7 o'clock. Freres Huret place their stop at the 4 o'clock position and Campag, and those who follow the Campag pattern, place the stop at the 7 o'clock position.
The old pattern Simplex gear hanger does not have a stop, accomplishing the job with an eared washer.
Freres Huret began offering an adaptor kit to mount their rear mechs to Campag pattern dropouts sometime in the 1970's. Do not know exact year but estimate ~1974.
There is also a version of the Jubile made to fit a Campag pattern hanger directly.

For some reason, the picture of your derailleur isn't working for me, so I can't comment on what dropout it is intended for. But an old-style Simplex dropout will need to be tapped 10mm x 1mm in order to accept the Huret mounting bolt. If your Simplex dropout is one of the newer, threaded ones it should work with the proper mounting hardware.

Can you see the Huret derailleur in this album? https://photos.google.com/share/AF1Q...9CWERnc2N6UVRR
I'm still learning my way around Google Photos. I just grabbed an isolated photo from my stream thinking if it was in a shared album it would be visible. How about this image?

I was just looking at a Jubilee online yesterday, and decided to pass it over for an old XTR. The Jubilee definitely looks cool, but I just wasn't familar enough with it. I knew Trek used some Hurets, from their catalogs, which made the choice tricky, but I finally just wimped out.
