something to the effect of:

I have looked in all of the old catelogs I could find and I don't see
any linear-pull info. I wonder if that was an option or something
someone "engineered". Do you have any more info?
One could certainly build that hardware... it wouldn't be difficult at
all. I wonder how the "pinch" pull would differ from the straddle
pull in terms of the physics involved. I think that, since I already
have the cable anchor made and in position, I'll probably keep the
straddle. Going to linear pull might force me to change levers!
