Whilst many machines pre-1939 were not fitted with any 'fixed' means of securing the brake cable outer to the frame, This type of clip was used on some frames until about 1948 as a more permanent solution than a band-on steel cable clamp. Made of spring steel these were brazed to the underside of the top tube in three places, supporting the rear brake cable as it ran from front to back.

From 1948 Rattray's used cable stops to route the cable, and these clips were no longer required.

To solve the problem of bare inner cables running from gear levers to gear changing equipment, Rattray's often used small pulleys. In this particular case, a small bracket on which the pulley pivots, is brazed to the top of the bracket shell.

A single pulley here was generally for routing a cable to a derailleur type mechanism. Where equipped with front & rear derailleurs there are often two pulleys combined. This arrangement is often found on frames from the early 1950's that used Cyclo or Simplex type derailleurs.

The late 50's saw the pulley arrangement replaced by simpler but almost as effective pressed steel guide. These could be single channel and on the right-hand side, for routing a gear cable to the rear derailleur, or as seen here, with a second channel for passing the cable up to the front derailleur., provided it could be operated by a right-hand fed cable.

To allow bare-wire cable runs to the rear derailleur, a braze-on stop was added to the top of the right-hand chainstay. The bare cable running from the pulley or guide was fed in to a cable outer here, from where it ran to the derailleur. The same type of stop can occasionally be found on the left-hand side of the downtube at the bottom, to feed the cable up to a front derailleur.

Until around 1947 Scot frames that were or could be fitted with mudguards, had these brackets brazed to the bottom of each seat stay, and at the rear of the fork legs.

With the change in style of frame ends (dropouts) came integral mudguard eyes and separate these brackets were no longer required nor fitted.

Pump Pegs can be found fitted on all the main tubes of the frame and popular locations were on top of the Down tube, underneath the Top Tube, and in front or behind the Seat Tube (at one time centrally placed on the tube, but generally offset to the right of the frame, to allow room for mudguards.
