even better...that puts paid to cogars...grist mill pulley wheel.... ..now look at these...i,m determined not to be eating ghopper,s kacks..
Now Wuffie, there were grist mill water wheels, and grist mill grinding wheels, ...... and all kinds of grist mill wheels and shafts in between those two.

That is a big hunk of cast iron and thus apparently made for a big, heavy duty, piece of equipment.
Now the date on that hub was the era when fortunes were being made and there were literally thousands of these "thingys" being built for gas and oil wells and parts were needed to build them with, .... to wit:
And I'm not stating a fact that the pictured hub was built for the drilling industry, but it might have been.
