How They Did Hubs
The details of this hub of a wooden wheel are interesting, I think. The hub is composed internally of a series of wooden cylinders of increasing size. Possible reasons for this:
- Easy replacement of the innermost cylinder in contact with the axle if it wears out.
- Easy adjustment of a given wheel to axles of different diameters.
If you know more about this, please inform us.
Location: In indefinite outdooor storage, Kreiterhof, near the village of Nebenau, District of Lörrach, Baden-Wurttemberg DE.
In my album: Dan's Patterns: Wood.
