So I guess what we learn from this USD catalog is that regulators made before 1967 all had short yokes....

The double hoses did and thus the necessity for the additional offering of the yoke. By this time the single hose with its HP port was starting to take over the diving world and thus the banjo for the SPG was offered. Funny that the "Phoenix" idea was never tried. Voit did. Maybe USD saw the future in single hose regs. Nemrod kept with their double hose, adding a HP port, until 1998 or so.
