This discussion of highwheels reminded me that I just upgraded my website's
highwheel page with an excellent section reviewing modern highwheels written
by collector/expert/record-holding-highwheeler Steve Stevens. I mention this
because he is NOT a fan of the Mesicek model, which Dirk wrote about. Here's
a link to the story if you're interested (scroll to the end to read Steve's
reviews: he mentions some neat machines):
