Description

Metal spoke pointer for shaping the ends of buggy spokes to permit them to fit in the felloe (wheel rim). A machined ring with various size holes to fit the spoke rotates to fit against a blade that is adjustable as to position. A metal framework has a shaped top that fits into a drilling brace to rotate the blade around the spoke material. Stamped on the bottom is "B.S.Y.CO" Next to each hole in the rotating ring is the fraction size of the hole, e.g., "1/2".
