Circular Dropouts?

OK I had a thought, Im not sure if this is already implemented on stock bikes, but im sure its not. Basically instead of a vertical dropout, you have a circular one. This means that the wheel will always be the right distance away from the brake + frame but you can also tension it like a mod

Its hard to describe, but im sure it would work. And I've not looked closely at many stock bikes so im not sure if its already in use... ah well if its useless it was fun to doodle in paint

Ideas?

Back in the 60's-80's or so they had alot of dropouts like this. Horizontal is a better way to go though.

Oh yeah my bad, um the grey thing is a screw to keep the axle still. yeah a tensioning screw. Its kinda weak design though.

It would be bad if you landed on it and bent the hook in though.

Awesome drawings though peeps. :P
