These are a great set of period hubs They appear to be drilled for 32fx36r spokes, I suspect the seller is referring to no cutouts in the flanges. I would refer to these as solid high flange or high solid flange and then the rest of description. We sold some of these back in the time frame. They were fine on the road, but for some reason fell out of favor as they were rumored to have"bearing bind" when ridden on steeped bank tracks and hard leaning in road turns. Ted Ernst.

Apropos the discussion awhile ago about high flange vs. low flange hubs, take a look at these:

Anyone seen these on a machine before and any reason for them being undrilled (or were these on the conveyor belt at 4.51 pm Friday before a Bank Holiday weekend?)?

Truly the Mother of All High Flange Hubs. "Bacon Slicers" indeed.
