Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / componenti Jaguar SS 100
English term or phrase: knock-on chrome hubs
L'autore descrive la Jaguar SS 100 del 1936 elencando le seguenti caratteristiche:

"...the feral SS Jaguar 100 sports model of 1936, with its sweeping wings, wire wheels, *knock-on chrome hubs* and immense, dashing bonnet louvred like a cheese grater; a seemingly endless perspective, viewed from the driver's cockpit."

Questi "knock-on" hubs mi mettono in difficoltà. A quanto mi risulta "hubs" normalmente sono i mozzi, ma che tipologia è il "knock-on"?

Explanation:
Nel link che ti riporto c'è una chiara immagine e la differenza con i "bolt-on hubs" (fissati con bulloni). A differenza di questi, il nostro tipo di mozzi non ha bulloni, e si monta "con un colpo di mano".

Notes to answerer
Asker: Ti ringrazio. Certamente si tratta dei mozzi che mi hai mostrato, quindi grazie a te ho eliminato ogni dubbio a proposito e risolto metà del problema. Ora mi resta da arrovellarmi sulla possibile resa terminologica. Non ho trovato neanche un occorrenza per "mozzi knock-on"; del resto sono comparsi decenni fa e dubito che si usasse questo termine inglese allora. Non ho trovato occorrenze significative neanche per "mozzi senza bulloni" quindi immagino sia un'altra la definizione italiana.
