Just below the wheel the column is wrapped with friction tape (remember friction tape and dark closets?)

OK I'll bite, What about friction tape and dark closets??

Boy, I'm not that old. If you take a roll of the old, cloth, friction tape into a dark closet and wait for your eyes to adjust to the dark, when you rapidly pull the tape off the roll it will give off blue sparks.

I learned that from my father, maybe it was his generation.
