Information and Identification Again Please

Again this is from my uncles accumulation:

The one on the left has the numbers 121968 around the middle of the barrel and MADE in CANADA PAT. 1937 on the barrel closest to the arm.

The middle one has MADE IN CANADA 40 NEW HERCULES BRAKE PAT NO. 10638 PATS PENDING on the barrel on the outside of the spoke holes

The one on the right appears to be unmarked.

I was wondering if I could get and info on these at all?

Thanks for all your help.

Bikes: '74 Raleigh LTD-3, '76 Motobecane Grand Jubile, '83 Fuji TSIII (customized commuter), '10 Mercier Kilo WT (fixed obsession), '83 Bianchi Alloro, '92 Bridgestone MB-1 (project), '83 Specialized Expedition (project), '79 Peugeot UO-8 (sold)

Current state = probably not much. Regarding the one on the right, there are several makers of the internally geared hubs - it's probably in the $25 to $40 range, maybe more depending on whether it's from one of the rarer manufacturers.

Hercules was English-made by Raleigh. Middle one is probably a front hub?
