In cleaning some of the parts of the torque arm mount I found stamped on one of the washers the name “Spicer”, the patent number 1580747, and the date April 1937.

When I looked it up the patent was for a type of flex joint which used fabric reinforced rubber discs. The washer fits between the layers and has a round lip on the outer edge to grip the flexible members.
