Bottom bracket thread type?

Ive just got my hands on a nice track frame and in the process of building it up but not sure what thread type the bottom bracket takes, ( ie british italian etc) any simple way of working it out before i start buying the wrong thing?

Measure the width of the bottom bracket shell - if it's 68 mm it's English threaded and if it's 70 mm it's Italian.
