Chart works the same way for all shafts. spine in relation to draw length. The Farbenglas are actually;
G  H  I  J
Each size is the next 5# up- example: G is 50-54# @28

In what year/years were the farbenglas and MJ LOG shafts introduced? Late 50s? Mid 60s?

Bear Glas came out in 1957 and then in 1960 Bear introduced the Micro Flite. So I would say at some point after that the other glass shafts appeared. I see Gordon shafts in a 1973 catalog.
