WHEELS WITH LOOSE SPOKES

Squeaking Noise Which Is Quite Annoying May Be Eliminated by Any Wheelwright. Wooden wheels with loose spokes emit a squeaking sound which is intensely annoying. The noise will be more distinct when the car is being driven lyound a corner. Sometimes this looseness may be obviated by replacing one or more spokes, or it may be cured by forcing small wooden wedges between the spokes and the hub. A wheelwright can do the job In a few minutes.
