Ingo Bikes with coaster hubs

Ingo Bike with Coaster Hubs
Phillip and Prescott Huyssen were issued a patent on August 2, 1938 for a coaster hub. This was at the end of the production of the Ingo bikes and it was never produce. My friend Chuck and I developed a hub similar to the patent drawing and it is on you tube as a video, the link is: Chuck and Jim's Ingo Coaster Hub

I am wondering if this will work on the '33 style of Ingo Bike?

Our first attempt at the hub was on the early wood frame model with a 5" diameter hub. That only gave about a 1-5/8" offset. The final ones on the video use a 6" hub that gives a 2" offset. The Ingo uses a 2-1/2" offset. The 6" hub would not work on the wood frame model becaus of a clearance problem with the side pylons and the lock arm. The pylon would have to have a clearance notch on the left side one. We decided to stick with the patent drawing which uses the steel frame model. If you would like a set of the drawings I can provide you with a set. You need machining capeability or sources to make it. If you have my number call me for more details.
