Le cœur d’une lourde roue de chariot, le moyeu, est tourné dans de l'orme bien sec. Sa forme bombée, qui ressemble à un petit tonneau, permet d’y monter deux «frettes» à chaud.

Ajustement des éléments de la jante sur les rayons.

Il pèse sur le levier pour enfoncer la section de la jante à fond. 1, record 6, French, - serre%2Drais
