Felt washer
Felt washer/seal for the quickly detachable (QD) rear wheel hub, PN 37-1042 (aka W1042).
This is a felt washer used on the quickly detachable rear wheel setup, part number 37-1042, also listed under the older W1042 designation. It shows up in the parts book figures for the QD rear wheel, both the U.S.A. and non-U.S.A. versions, so it's tied specifically to that hub arrangement rather than the fixed rear wheel.

A felt washer like this works as a simple seal, soaking up grease and keeping dirt out where it sits in the QD hub assembly. It's a small, inexpensive item but one that's easy to overlook when rebuilding a hub, and a tired or missing one can let grease migrate where you don't want it.
Our records show this part across catalog listings from 1960 to 1967, all under the QD rear wheel figures. If you're not sure whether your hub is the quickly detachable style, check before ordering.
