the oldest wheels in California, a look at how the first wheels were designed
0 comments Posted by st at 12:18 PM Above is design, below is what remains of a round piece of wood 205 years after it was installed on an ox cart, consider that the log it was cut from may have been 100 years old to get this big around and it's possible that the wood is over 300 years old.

Odd stuff on this tow truck
Lenin's 1922 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost snow machine. Most expensive snow machine conversion? or strangest use for a Rolls Royce?
no idea what the motorbike in front is
Never seen a train engine like this... must be for moving train cars around in a train yard

I doubt that anyone did that more than once given the conditions of roads in Italy in 1931 to 1933, that's when the above photo was taken, 1931Labels: Auburn, caterpillar tracked vehicle, innovation, Jeep, model T, motor wheel, one wheel, Puegeot, rare, snow machines, Tank car, tractor, velocipede, wheels
