Does the crank arm have a peg on it which goes into the sprocket? What kind of rear hub does it have?

From constantly studying CABE photos I remember I've seen that chainguard before, or one very very similar, can't recall on which bike though.

Here's some background on the Union Supply Co., that Colin has on his site. http://www.oldbike.eu/museum/bikes-1800s/1898-2/1898-union-supply-co-union-jack/

Apparently the name Union Jack was around for some time. http://thecabe.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?8296-Union-Jack-Bicycle

Thank you Ford..... Too bad about the tortured badge. If the badge was gone from this one it would have been NO DEAL.
