said spindle and on its outer end provided with a plain surface to allow the hub to bear against it and on its inner end with a blunt beveled surface extending from the threaded 2o stem outward and rearward to a sharp edge and adapted to lie over and receive the corre- spondingly-beveled end of the tree thereby forming a tight joint.
