"Might be because it was made from more than one part. Other wise assembled." George


In the March 1, 1930 "Parts Price List" book, both styles of the 21" wheels were named "Wheel" and the 19" wheel was named "Wheel Assembly". Yes, both wheels are welded assemblies of rim, spokes and hubs. It just seems odd to call one a "wheel" and the other one a "wheel assembly". Both wheels are priced identically, at $5 each, so it does not seem likely that anything else was included, such as hubcap, valve stem or rim liner. There may be more information on the drawings, which I do not have. Don

I said that because at the cylinder plant that I worked at. That is what we would have called it a Assembly. Why they would call one that and not the other I have no clue.
