Norman Anderson has written a gripping story of one of the
engineering marvels of both the nineteenth and the twentieth
century, the ferris wheel. The idea of this contraption may be as
old as the water wheel, and written descriptions and drawings of
pleasure wheels go back at least four centuries. There have been
dozens of experiments with design and construction--early portable
wheels by Strobel, the Condermans, Sullivan and others;
one-of-a-kind wheels like Schnitzler's Asbury Park wheel with a
tower and Stubb's water-turned wheel at Electric Park in Waterloo,
Iowa; giant wheels in London, Blackpool, Vienna, Paris and recently
in Japan.
