Big Wheel (tricycle)
Big Wheel is a brand of Lowrider bicycle, low-riding tricycles, made mostly of plastic, with a larger front wheel. Introduced by Louis Marx and Company in 1969 and manufactured in Girard, Pennsylvania, Big Wheel was a very popular toy in the 1970s in the United States, partly because of its low cost and partly because consumer groups said it was a safer alternative to the traditional tricycle or bicycle. The large front wheel also made it a stable, easier tricycle to ride for children. Design The original Marx Big Wheel tricycle had Rotational molding, rotomolded parts made of red, blue, and yellow plastic. The resulting components were hollow and the pedals connect directly to the front wheel instead of using a chain. The seat sits very low to the ground and is adjusted by pushing two large pegs in its base into pairs of holes in the frame. The large front wheel is the size of a manhole cover. In the 1970s, a handbrake was added in front of the right rear wheel to facilitate in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Michigan Logging Wheels
Michigan logging wheels are a type of skidder that was introduced in the 19th-century United States logging industry as a state-of-the-art technology for transporting lumber and timber over rough terrain. They proved most valuable in the winter months as they could extend the logging season since they were not dependent upon good seasonal weather conditions. It enabled a set of domestic labor animals (i.e. horses, mules, oxen) to transport many heavy logs of various sizes over a long distance of uneven wet ground. Silas C. Overpack invented the Michigan logging wheels in 1875. They were all made individually upon order request at first, but mass-produced later when the concept was accepted nationwide. They were painted red and came in various sizes, generally tall plus or minus increments ranging from in overall height. Cost was considered high and was dependent upon the diameter size requested by the customer. Logging companies bought dozens at a time to save labor cost ...
