pop Posted October 26, 2012 Share #1 Posted October 26, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) This is the second phase of the erection of the Ferris wheel I was able to observe. The spokes are raised and attached to the hub. The distance between spokes is held by what I believe to be steel beams.

The operator controls the winches for both sides of the wheel at the same time.[ATTACH]343369[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauledell Posted October 27, 2012 Share #4 Posted October 27, 2012 Philipp, An excellent series especially the third and last shots. I like the third for the marvelous framing and the last for the interest evolved. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
