Sorry for the brake and computer, set up for a TT at the moment, when set up for pursuit it gets a track fork and loses the computer.

Though it doesn't really specify if the chain had much to do with the record breaking. His basic point is that if you were to keep the same diameter cog but run a smaller pitch than 1/2", you would be able to have more teeth. More teeth means better efficiency. But that means the overall diameters of the chainring and cog would be the same, but the tooth count would be different. so a 46/13 in 1/2" pitch would feel the same as 46/13 in 10mm pitch. the benefit would be gained if you went to 58/16 which have the same diameter as 46/13 in 1/2" pitch and be approx. the same gear ratio.
As for the shimano stuff, I don't have any direct knowledge of the history of it, so I'll leave that to the others.
