Usually one knob is permanently fixed to the shaft, and the knob and
shaft pull out as a single unit.

Could be, but I still don't see any way to accomplish this.
There's a cotter pin that holds the lock body assembly together. I'd
rather not take it out until I know what's inside there, but it may
allow me to take the whole thing apart.
It would be nice if someone who actually *knows* how these are made
could answer. In the meantime, I'm going to take it to the place where I
got it and see if they know.

Personally, I like Vista, but I probably won't use it. I like it
because it generates considerable business for me in consulting and
upgrades. As long as there is hardware and software out there that
doesn't work, I stay in business. Incidentally, my company motto is
"If this stuff worked, you wouldn't need me".

The older hardware I'm familiar with:
One knob held to a square shaft with a set screw.
The other knob is permanently part of the shaft
and unscrews from the lock by turning it.

That type of lockset it *much* older than this. Remember, I said this
was from to '40s-'50s. You're talking about the older stuff that goes
back to Victorian times, with square threaded steel shafts.

Accomplish what? The factory accomplishes implementing the design.

It sure would be. It's already midnight, but I'm going to get the
senior staff in here. I don't care how much overtime we have to pay.
OK, I called. Five of them should be here by 2AM, so they should have
an answer soon after.
