G&J Rambler w/ curved crankset

-
If someone wanted the "style of the day" , any good blacksmith could reproduce the curve using the original arms.

Who Said It 1st???
My 2 Cents,,,,,Not an Original G&J Product; BUT, Was Made for G&J as an Experimental Trial Basis on the Model 26 Racer!!!
OR, Someone With Great Metal Working Skills Bent Them!!!
:D

Interesting to speculate on this one..... I'd say due to the issues with Ide at the time - these may have been Ide related ( Just speculation ). They sold off much of the machinery - Possibly G & J bought some of it or hired a former Ide employee. To avoid a Patent issue they reversed the curve pattern ( ? ). Maybe the transition Ide factory operation jobbed this out?
