What holds the rear wheel and axle on?

Rebuilt my hubs and and reassembling the rear end on the bugeye.

Looking at it, the axle and wheel are bolted to the hub, but the hub is just tapped on for an interference fit. I dont see any other attachment.

What am I missing?
 
Big axle nut... then when you put the axle in, it presses against the front of the bearing, holding the bearing in the hub.

Big axle nut should be tightened according to the manual and have the locking washer tab bent up to keep it from ever working its way off. The axle nuts are handed as well. One left hand thread and one right.
