Wheel Hub.
Patent for a new and improved wheel hub. This design consists "[i]n a sectional hub, each spoke-socket having a separate side opening closed by a plate [that] fit[s] into an annular groove . . . of the cylinder . . . and [is] held by bolts passing between the tenons of spokes, to allow each spoke to be separately reached and tightened by a wedge under the end of its tenon" (lines 59-65). This "obviate[s] the necessity of removing the wheel-tire for replacing a broken spoke with a new one" (lines 7-9).
