Boss Cranks Lesson

Does anyone know the history and various styles of Boss cranks.  I just picked up a set and am curious to know the vintage.

What about the square spindle? I thought they were the first.

That helps.  Thanks.  Would you happen to know if the spindle is a standard 19mm?  It seems to be.  I want to get a new bb and am hoping the newer ones will work.

Re: Boss Cranks Lesson

same as profile.
the difference in the profile to boss is boss had a large chamfer on the out side of the bearing cup. otherwise the same.
