Subject: [CR] Harden hub question


I have a pair of Harden large flange hubs, drilled, in the classic Harden shape. The rear is double sided for fixed and freewheel, and is marked Harden, with a patent number. The front appears to have no markings, although perhaps they are just to faint to see. Is there any way to tell whether these hubs are the original Harden design, or the "Flywate" type, without taking them apart?
