I did a bit of surfing for info on this...<br>
<br>
What it did come up with though was a name for what Rich is talking about - the Dejbjerg wagon. It had grooves cut into the wheel hubs that it is proposed contained roller bearings. What i can't find is a decent reference to is that really explains what is going on, perhaps someone with access to Danish sources will have more luck. Most of the sites I can come up with aren't worth linking to, mainly because they're only superficial references or have less information than Rich has given.<br>
<br>
There is a bit of the wagon shown here under the section about conservation in Alum of waterlogged wood - www.natmus.dk/cons/x/ww/ww1.htm<br>
<br>
Whether this is the wheel hub is impossible to tell, we aren't told. As an aside this was preserved in 1883, so regardless of how up to date you're keeping Quintus i think that's probably outside your time frame<br>
<br>
The only site other site with images is this one, about 1/5th of the way down the page. I warn you though that it seems to be part of an obnoxious white suporemacist site, so tread carefully and take everything with a hefty pinch of salt<br>

In the name of heaven Catiline, how long do you propose to exploit our patience..
