"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

I could swear that the right main on that thing was thicker..

Obviously, the thing was staged to show they could do it. :)  .. from a simpler era, when they just did things.

Well, it looked to me like the RH wheel was a solid disk style, and the new LH wheel was a wire style. As long as it rolls, and holds up the axle, it will do the job.

Yeah, besides that solid vs. spoke, but that part I had to figure that the solid rimmed wheel would not be as handy to fool around with in the airflow like that.
