Ha, center-pulls were a new improvement over the older side-pull type. The claim was that forces on the left and right pads were equal, whereas side pulls pulled only on one side. Of course that's nonsense, and center-pull brakes fell out of favor in a few years. I didn't like center-pull brakes, so I replaced the ones that came on my Gitane with Universal side-pulls, circa 1974.
