Matt, I don't know if there were more than one version of the smooth axle or they just got better at doing it, but the early versions had a splined shaft in the center of the axle that was fairly easy to see. Later versions were much smoother and gently tapered to a dimple. I have one of each on 9N-516, I didn't plan it that way, I was just happy to find a smooth axle of any kind when I put it together. It is rather neat now as I can easily point out the difference......Kelly.
