more on this "pos" hub:

"Raleigh RRA 1948 Description : One could specify any number of high quality components when ordering an RRA with only the basic frameset being "stock". This example has the absolute top-of-the-line Conloy Asp 27" alloy rims and this lovely Harden "bacon slicer" high-flange hub also with Teclamit lubrication port. Note also the distinctive "R" Raleigh wingnuts."

That was a very desirable hub in its day and it is being used as it was originally designed. Its not really such a stupid system. The cog is threaded in place, the bolts serve basically the same purpose as a lockring. I'd buy it if it were complete.

Please pardon my snarky responses, but it really doesn't look like those bolts would act as a lockring. Rikardi151's diagram demonstrates my skepticism pretty well.
Do you know of any resources that have a history of Harden hubs?

It looks like an old unicycle hub (not saying it is one), where the cog would bolt onto the hub. Schwinn made 'em like that, just like a modern Level hub (awesome hubs but they didn't come up with the idea).
I would totally buy that hub if it came in a vegetarian version.
