(under subclass 3.1) Machine adapted to form a tenon on the end of wheel spoke and bore a hole in the wheel hub or felly to receive that tenon.
(1) Note. A conventional wood wheel consists of a hub, the portion nearest the axle which receives either the "web" or the "spokes," depending on the type wheel. The spokes extend to the outer periphery of the wheel where they are received by the "felly," a wood band having sockets for the ends of the spokes. An iron band called a "tire" holds the components of the felly against radial movement and acts as the surface of the wheel to engage the ground.
