Thanks Bianchigirl! So the small cog is like a lockring on modern cassettes?
Do you know if people use these at all? From the looks of the hubs on Sheldonbrown you can't use anything else on them but the specific uniglide hub. It's a shame as it's a really nice 27 inch rim.

Yes, the small cog locks the rest of them on the hub. From the looks of the cogs, it's not terribly worn. It would make a good general-purpose wheel until it wore out. Then turn it into a wind chime- it's nothing really special.
