Even if it never came into hotrod scene in the 40's, stuff like that is in racing is way older that one think.
It's jus for now a idea.
Ron's roadster told me about a camgrinder he rely on and he can do custom, but if he has a CNC grinder or a master to a 32 core cam ( roller... ) I can't say.

I believe rollers were around from some time, but I can't recall exactly what they were used in. It wasn't mainstream automotive, but the idea isn't terribly new, it just wasn't a common use in the Big Three in the USA.
