Re: Locking Hubs

["Bill Thebert" <bthebert@domain.elided>]

Jeremy:

This is not a "dumb" question at all.  In fact, it's asked often enough to
earn a place in the IHC FAQ ("Frequently Asked Questions") documents that
have been prepared from this mailing list and other sources.

Check out the article "Automatic Locking Hubs Explained" in the IHC Digest
FAQ.  The URL for this article is:
http://www.binderbulletin.com/faq/1.htm#5

Links to the main FAQ index can be found lots of places.  Foremost is the
home page for the IHC Digest -- http://www.digest.net     The Binder
Bulletin web site contains a mirror copy of the FAQ Index as well.  

There are more than 200 of the most commonly asked IH-related questions
posed and answered in this set of documents, with links to all sorts of
additional interesting and relevant information.
