I think that should be 1 bleed valve pre-71 1/2, but even that's open to
question as the last of the 71 models from about June 71 had 2 bleed valves per
caliper like the Aug 71 on (72 models).  I suppose really there's one bleed
valve and one drain valve per caliper on the later ones.

When you appreciate that all the replacements have 2 valves per caliper now
(apart from Jim's rebuilds!), it becomes a less reliable test anyway.
