Saw this on the wall of an antiques shop today. Seemed a bit pricey to me but what do I know. £190. It's about 2 foot diameter...

Don't talk to me about woodruff keys! I had a Vauxhall Viva engine in and out every day for a week back in the 70s trying to figure out why the friggin' car wouldn't turn over....42p woodruff key had slipped out.

Helm is the nautical term Cam but the picture makes it clear.
A bit expensive that. Come up on ebay fairly often. Vehicle parts and accessories > boat parts and accessories. I have two like that but smaller.
