Among a box of parts I have acquired is a J Moyne hub that I have not seen before. It is a rear hub, and appears to be similar in function to the 1940s/50s Baylis Wiley unit hub which I am more familiar with, in that the freewheel is built into the hub. The main difference to the B-W hub is that instead of threads for sprockets, it has an octagonal block onto which either suitable sprockets or some form of adapter fit, to be held in place by a lockring. The hub can be viewed at http://ntlworld.photobox.co.uk/album/1571123 . Any information about this hub would be appreciated. Peter Brown, Lincolnshire, England
