Hi Gergo; Back in 2005 Michael Salter provided a reference to the original
patent for how the knock off hubs work. A copy is attached or you can check
it out at the following website:
http://v3.espacenet.com/textdoc?DB=EPODOC&IDX=GB436258&F=0
At that website you should be able to access one of Rudge Whitworth's patents
applicable to detachable road wheels. There is a patent which describes the
self tightening mechanism.
Enjoy!!

been wondering how the wire wheel hubs work. Do they rely on the conical
mating surfaces or the splines alone? If only the splines hold, how much
movement is acceptable? Gergo >>
