Saturday, July 20, 2024 -- Long Beach Model T Swap -- Part 7 - Wood Steering Wheel with Hub (Fox Automotive Prod. Corp.)

The hub appears to be an aftermarket steering wheel lock.
My guess is that it's a steering disconnect.
Thus, the vehicle cannot be steered if it's not engaged (with a key mechanism).

Fox Automotive Prod. Corp., Philadelphia, PA.
The hub also incorporates an electric horn button.
Fox Automotive Prod. Corp., Philadelphia, PA.
UL Lab Inspected for a "Group 2 Automobile-Lock".
Patent dates from 1915 to 1922.
Serial # F994154.

Lock brand is "A Russwin".
Never seen this brand before.

Found this online.
Didn't know there was a brand of car called FOX.
Don't know if the car company had anything to do with the accessory company...
