31 mar The steering wheel

Of all the inventions created by mankind, probably the wheel is one of the most important, after the fire and agriculture. The wheel was first used in machines and then for transportation measures, and from that it went everywhere. For example, chariots,  bicycles and cars were the first benefited. Even The Flintstones had wheels in their motorless car.

The wheelbarrow (construction), the wheelchair (medical) and the wonder wheel in an amusement park add to the list. Now a wheel is also used to conduct a vehicle, and it gave birth to a new verb: to steer. So, the wheel used to control the car could be called ‘driving wheel’, but it is not, it is called steering wheel, because you steer the car, a boat, a ship, a tractor and any other vehicle.

Hey, keep both hands on the wheel when steering a car!
