[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 149904, member: 456"] I have measure up both spokes and spoke flanges to compare with MM's results above. His drawing of the right angled edge to the hole through the flange did not look rignt but I find that, at least originally they did have sharp edges to their holes. These holes have slight wear at the ends where the spokes would have been pulling, more or less along the longer axis of the cut out. The spoke heads do not show any signs of wear but in all cases fitting the spoke into a cut out allows the spoke to settle into the hole much more than in MM's drawing above. The diameter of the spoke, just before it enlarges to form the end is 0.142". Inspection of edges of the holes where the spokes would have fitted shows very slight beveling in some, but not all cases. The measurement of the total height of the spoke flange as requested by Cyborg in #22 above shows 0.537" to 0.538" in differernt places. This spoke flange is an original from 1954. [/QUOTE]
