According to my records, US patent
4281576 for a bridge that looks like the Saddle Lock Bridge was filed October 29, 1979 and granted August 4, 1981. This bridge assembly does not show the side screw pushing all barrels together. But that feature shows up in
Description 269,440 filed May 26, 1981 and published June 21, 1983. The only thing I could find on the DFV is
Description 268,845, filed July 1, 1980 and published May 3, 1983. So chronologically, the Saddle Lock would come first. But that doesn't mean a thing as far as what got applied first in production where, from Boogie Bills answer, it would be the DFV.
For what it's worth.
