The spoke design on these wheels is peculiar, what particular carrier are they off?

Alex

Its only one wheel, and its a Loyd wheel. The other is the std riveted U.C type.

Lynn, may I suggest changing your forum name to "The Oracle".

Cheers for your help. All the Loyd's I've seen have standard UC wheels on them, well, that I've noticed.

So, why the difference?

I made a mistake

I now note that this particular one is a cast one.
The one I thought it was, is in the picture below. (someone on the forum will recognise their property) These are of pressed and welded construction. I think we have seen them here, on a Loyd, and were fitted inside out.
Remembering that there were quite a few manufacturers, all given a spec, and some coming up with different styles.

On top of this, component build methods changed as time progressed.
As an example I think the solid T-16 wheel is a pressed and welded wheel.

So the wheel is nothing special then?
