2. Wheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel

   An early wheel made of a solid piece of wood. A wheel is a rotating component (typically circular in shape) that is intended to turn on an axle bearing. The wheel is one of the key components of the wheel and axle which is one of the six simple machines. Wheels, in conjunction with axles, allow heavy objects to be moved easily facilitating ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auburn_Rubber_Company

   The Auburn Rubber Company was a rubber products manufacturer best known for its line of children's toys. [1] It was probably the largest producer of rubber and vinyl toys in the world, though Norway's Tomte Laerdal , Finland's Plasto, and Sweden's Galanite were major European producers.

4. Wheel and axle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_and_axle

   The wheel and axle is a simple machine, consisting of a wheel attached to a smaller axle so that these two parts rotate together, in which a force is transferred from one to the other. The wheel and axle can be viewed as a version of the Lever, with a drive force applied tangentially to the perimeter of the wheel, and a load force applied to ...

   Skirt guard or coatguard: a device fitted over the rear wheel of a bicycle to prevent a long skirt, coat or other trailing clothes or luggage from catching in the wheel, or in the gap between the rim and the brakes; Spindle: an axle around which a pedal rotates; threaded at one end to screw into crank arms; Spoke: connects wheel rim to hub ...

6. Car suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_suspension

   A dependent suspension normally has a beam (a simple 'cart' axle) or a (driven) live axle that holds wheels parallel to each other and perpendicular to the axle. When the camber of one wheel changes, the camber of the opposite wheel changes in the same way (by convention, on one side, this is a positive change in the camber, and on the other ...

7. Rolling resistance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_resistance

   Figure 1 Hard wheel rolling on and deforming a soft surface, resulting in the reaction force R from the surface having a component that opposes the motion. (W is some vertical load on the axle, F is some towing force applied to the axle, r is the wheel radius, and both friction with the ground and friction at the axle are assumed to be negligible and so are not shown.
