Early disc brake experiments, 1966


 These discs look advanced for the time, large diameter with expansion slots for dealing with heat. I guess the Hurst calipers were what was available... MotoTec seems to be still in the disc business.

The guy in the picture, Tom Heyser, opened a cycle shop in the Washington DC suburbs in the 60’s. It’s still in business today.
