The "square lobe" cam profiles are known as "dwell" lobes. With a dwell lobe, you can basically put a lifter on top of the lobe and it will not fall off!

Don Teweles at General Kinetics, along with Joe Lunati were pioneers on dwell lobe Stocker camshafts in the early days. Cam Dynamics also created many Stocker dwell cams that were crazy fast too.

After Don shuttered General Kinetics, my preferred brand was Cam Dynamics when Glen Steyer's was still at Crane Cams.

Let's not forget that in the early days, although they checked duration, lift and overlap, the OEM's had submitted some crazy camshaft specs too, especially regarding overlap.
