Sorry, should've quoted Patton to make myself clearer.
Knock-on wheels tend to wear out the splines on the hubs if they're subjected to too much torque or not tightened up regularly, leaving no splines on the shaft and no drive to the wheel on that hub.
Happened a lot with mgb v8 conversions in the 70's so you got the massive roar of v8 power as you rolled to an embarassing stop at the roadside.
The smooth type I alluded to are the worn out hub adaptors that Patton is likely to find in a skip (or the modern equivalent, ebay).
Oh, just a thought, if your splines fail then you don't just lose the go, you lose the brakes too...
