Spoked Wheels & Height of Street Organ Crank
By Dave Clark

Can anyone with a monkey or street organ measure the distance from
the floor to the crank center and measure the diameter of the crank?
I need to make a cart for mine and have been debating the height.
When I get it to a comfortable cranking height the organ seems too high.
The organ plans called for a 16" diameter crank.

Also, any good sources for wooden spoked wheels?  Rockler Woodworking
and Hardware has a 14-spoke wooden wheel with tire.  Not sure what its
weight carrying capacity is however.
