Subject: Re: [Healeys] Wire wheel hubs - how?
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!!
