Howard, I was thinking along those same lines that they were for controlling the directions as they do swivel. There was very little material left on them when I started removing them. I have no idea what they looked like,

Don, The back side was similar to cardboard but it isn't cardboard. If I had to guess I would say it was a thin piece of masonite. It is very "fiber- ish". The front (main casing) is something more sturdy than that. It is almost like bakelite but not bakelite. Sorry, I cant be more specific.
