Early TOC Coaster Hub Info Needed.

[pedal4416]

Ive seen these years ago but never took the time to look closer. Now I have one and I am wondering more about it. The cog slips off the "keyed" section of the driver to coast. Anyone have any more info on it? How does it work, am I missing any parts? It came on an 1899 Hartford. Thank you!

Does it move side to side with the pedal actions or is it by hand?

It looks like you ride like normal (fixed gear) and when you need to coast you get off and slip the cog over?

Pretty sure I cracked the code on your hub. I believe it's a new departure brake controller (which was used by Columbia quite a bit) that is missing the cover, the band and possibly other pieces. I pulled the cover off of mine and it looks to be the same but id have to do a bit of work to get the rest of it off at the moment. That's my take on it. Hope it helps.

None of these hubs are mine, although I have some of the same ones, pictured.
Thought you might like to see them.

Thank you guys, @Barnegatbicycles it looks really close to your ND controller but slightly different, I am now convinced it is a decelerator missing pieces.

I'll see if I can pull the wheel down tonight. It would make sense being that the bike is a Hartford.

Here is the ND controller. Mine appears to be an add on to a fixed hub (Ill pull it apart later). If you look at FIG.7 Mine has the single keyway but does not have the slotted cutout. It looks like a similar setup though?

For sure looks like you have the parts in fig 7 and 4 and a' in fig 6.

Im pretty sure its the 1898-9 Columbia New Departure brake. Anyone have parts or a hub?
