many thanks and greetings.

Definitely an Enfield design of hub - that cush drive is very distinctive.
Enfields themselves used this hub of course, and that hollow axle idea - prewar Enfields for some years had sprocket and brake drum on opposite sides.
And being a smaller size of drum, was for the smaller models of Enfields. I notice, for example, the Models B, C, L, LO and G for 1935 had a rear 6 &1/2" drum, among many such examples and years.
The larger models tended to use a bigger drum - which became detachable at some point. HopethisHelps.

Lots of people used enfield hubs; many of the smaller manufacturers like Brough Superior and New Imperial, as well as bigger players like P&M. That hub could go into any of dozens of different lightweights of the thirties.

The hub is very similar to the one used by Norton in the mid-1920s. What is the drum size for a 16H around 1926?
