Billy,

Yes, the design is a hand. This is the symbol of Ulster (Northern Ireland). I am not sure of the connection, but the most famous of the pre-war Rudge racing motorcycles was the Rudge Ulster.

Hi Chuck, all. Just curious; is the spider on the rudge crank supposed to represent a hand? If so is there a reason? And if not a hand, what is it? Billy Ketchum; Chicago [where all the snow has melted], IL; USA.
