I believe it may be that too, and that is what the Browning patent calls it. It has a back flange much larger that the taper, machined at the large end of the taper, which serves as the pressure plate to draw the taper together, and is tapped, same as the draw bolts, so the draw bolt can be moved from the untapped clearance hole in the flange, to the tapped hole in the flange where it is screwed in to contact the face of the pulley and jack it back apart. 6 holes in the flange, 3 clear the screw with enough clearance that the flange, (the whole thing is slotted, wider than a keyway if so the taper and flange can collapse a bit as the taper is drawn in), are used and 3 are tapped for the screw. Keys are 100% optional in my experience, they never slip when properly drawn in. See this link for a poor pix, upper right on the page. I say poor because the taper on the OD of the smaller projection faceing us isn't obvious. <http://www.regalpts.com/products/drive-components/bushings/split-taper/Pages/default.aspx> Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
