- (continued from previous page)Agricultural ImplementsBlock-wheel Carts were commonly used about 80 years ago. They were like th spoke-wheel carts but the wheels were different. The wheels were made of big blocks of wood, and the axle was made of strong heavy wood, and the parts of the axle that came out through the wheel had a cap like a cup on it to keep the wheel from falling off.Patrick Lennon (Scholáire)Got from: - Patrick Lennon (47)
