As it happens, I was looking at that just last night (on the phone with
Ronnie).  The balls and springs in the hub only resist shifting into gear
(thereby applying pressure to the synchros), they don't hold the hub in
gear.

Sorry, Ronnie, I ran off without the TRF catalog this morning.  I'll try to
scan the page tonight and send it to you.
