Not quite sure what period you were talking about there - though you hint at early 70s. They had red apex bricks by the early 1970s didn't they? (URL) 1971) (URL) 1971), and (URL) 1973) (all in shallow slope) For medium slope, I'm there was a house (...) (25 years ago, 10-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)
