Odd Bendix coaster cache in trash rescued

[nortonguy]

A friend of mine dropped these off at my house after finding them on the curb in his neighborhood for trash-day. The arms identify them as Bendix 70 and 76, but a number of the 70 model hubs have no flanges for holding spokes but instead a shell with splines on it. I took one apart and it looks like it may have never been used, really clean and not worn with new grease in it. I run a few bikes with Bendix coasters so the parts are welcome, but I thought I would see if anyone knows anything about these odd looking hubs.

Not sure if that type might have been inserted into plastic wheels that were molded to integrate the hub shell, spokes and rims?
Date seems a bit too early for that.

There are three wheelers that use a hub with one or both of the spoke flanges removed. But they will have another sprocket welded somewhere on the outer shell.

I had bought plastic tuff wheels that had a bendix hub in it, that had to be about 75.

Archie Sturmer is on the right track. I believe these were used on plastic and metal BMX mag wheels of the mid 70's like Skyway, Lester, Motomags, etc.

Thanks all for the input, that makes sense that they are for mag wheels.
