Mabel Stark had a version of this wheel. She told us of teaching a tiger to walk it at quite a speed, and of the big handle on one side used as a braking device. The man who built the Barnes show equipment, Red Forbes, built the wheel heavy for the needed stability, and Mabel spoke of the 4 men needed to carry it.
