The  smaller hole has a very specific function.  When raising the mast,  the
furling Genoa is placed so that the upper piece of the mast mounted  main
sheet cleat protrudes through the hole, preventing the furling  assembly 
from
slipping down the mast.  Once the mast is secured, the  furling assembly is
lifted off the cleat and attached to the  bow.

Jim,
Attached are two pictures of my 88 vintage  furler. Hope these help. The
smaller hole on the drum isn't used. If you  have any further questions,
don't hesitate to  ask.

Rummy

I have  recently purchased a 1988 rhodes 22. The jib  sail was removed  from
the furling tube and I would like to put it back on the  tube.  The sail has
a pocket for the furling tube to be inserted into. On  the  top of the tube
there is a screw and washer that probably holds  the top of the  jib sail to
the tube through a grommet in the sail.  The bottom of the furling  tube 
does
not have a hole to insert a  screw. The bottom of the jib sail does  have a
grommet. About three  fourths of an inch up from the bottom of the  furling
tube there is a  disc of about four and a half inch diameter with two  holes
in it. One  hole is about five eights inch diameter and the other hole is
about three  sixteenths inch diameter. I don't understand how the bottom of
the jib is  to be attached and I also don't know the purpose of the holes in
the disc  at the bottom of the furling tube. I can send photographs to
clarify.  
A  photo or explanation of this set up will be greatly appreciated.  
Thanks,Jim
