Thanks Randy for that link with a bit of history on Motor Wheel. I stand not only corrected and better informed. As an aside, Motor Wheel was the maker of many standard Packard prewar wheels - the 17" wire spokes on my 34 are clearly marked with their name. If the opportunity presents itself I'll examine the 33-36 17" wooden artillery and steel disc wheels to see if I can find a manufacturer's name on them. 1936 was the last year for the wooden artillery wheel and it and the disteel wheel are seldom seen.
