1940 racer that @oldwhizzer posted:
Also included update to @49autocycledeluxe 's I73933 serial showing its "all fillet" brazed BB construction right in the middle of the transition to all EF construction. The first EF BB is an I serial, the last Fillet BB is an I serial, and the first frame with all EF construction an I serial. The transition is all there in the onset of the wartime New World production. @GTs58

Are those Paramount hubs on @oldwhizzer's racer? The "phone dial" hubs had larger axle sections I believe. This is another I picked up that's been converted to a derailleur three speed, not the best shots but the best I've got for now. But if you zoom in the center section of the front hub is different.

Maybe this helps. And @Junkman Bob's bike in post #644 has a good close-up of a rear phone dial hub.

Kinda cool New World Schwinn here …. Should be a good project for someone… Has schwinn scripted hubs and rear hub is obviously a freewheel … great looking phone dial hub as well … I know an OA bath will do this one justice !!! Rear fender needs luv (rolled ) seat is real cool looking imo …...

The Paramount hub and the regular phone dial indeed have different center section profiles but can look similar from a distance.

Yeah but whizzers is definitely not the bulky regular one. His definitely looks like the paramount hub to me. I zoomed in a bit. What do you think? The regular ones are the single piece

In your close-up, it looks like it even has the hollow axle. They were reducing weight to the absolute minimum. And those rims are definitely not the standard pre-war rims used on the touring bikes.

I updated the entry to Paramount hubs. It's funny because I stared at this 1939 Catalog page for a while when I was contemplating this bike:
Looks like 4045 and 4120 on this bike. Now that you guys point this out, it seems like the true "telephone dial" hubs have a domed flange while these Paramount hubs seem less domed.
When they say Rear Racing Hub does that mean its fixed drive? I didn't see any brakes...

With the narrow center section and hollow axle, that looks like a Paramount hub to me.
