So to feed the spoke through the hub spoke hole was a small slot filed to feed the flat spoke through?

Usually a jewellers saw, undo blade, thread through hole, re attach blade and cut slot towards the hub.. Undo blade, take out of hole and repeat.

Or a needle file which is what I used to get these flat spokes on a set of wheels I had in the 80’s.
