Yes, some Campy hubs had split adjustable cones that allowed you to do the final adjustment with the wheel fully clamped in the dropouts and tighten the cone until the play at the rim just disappeared. Then you locked the cone in place with a set screw that pinched the sides of the cone together. A great system and too bad it wasn't more common.
