Daimler 1117116 P5202063bwsm

One of my real pleasures is my collection of drawings, and that of the Aldridge Transport Museum. Today, I wanted to see the details of the rear hub construction of the 1935 Daimler COG5. So a quick look at Birmingham CT's original boxes of contract drawings, and there's just what I want.

 

This is the cross-section through the wheel stud area, showing the wheels are located on the coned studs and nuts. Daimler not only used studs with backnuts, but also fitted dowels to stop any risk of their becoming loose.
