        whether solid, or a frame composed of an outer rim, spokes

        in machinery, and for various purposes; as, the wheel of a
        wagon, of a locomotive, of a mill, of a watch, etc.

              car.                                  --Dryden.
  
     2. Any instrument having the form of, or chiefly consisting

        (b) An instrument of torture formerly used.
  
                  His examination is like that which is made by
                  the rack and wheel.               --Addison.
  
     Note: This mode of torture is said to have been first
           employed in Germany, in the fourteenth century. The
           criminal was laid on a cart wheel with his legs and
           arms extended, and his limbs in that posture were
           fractured with an iron bar. In France, where its use
           was restricted to the most atrocious crimes, the
           criminal was first laid on a frame of wood in the form
           of a St. Andrew's cross, with grooves cut transversely
           in it above and below the knees and elbows, and the
           executioner struck eight blows with an iron bar, so as
           to break the limbs in those places, sometimes finishing
           by two or three blows on the chest or stomach, which
           usually put an end to the life of the criminal, and
           were hence called coups-de-grace -- blows of mercy. The
           criminal was then unbound, and laid on a small wheel,
           with his face upward, and his arms and legs doubled
           under him, there to expire, if he had survived the
           previous treatment. --Brande.
        (c) (Naut.) A circular frame having handles on the
            periphery, and an axle which is so connected with the
            tiller as to form a means of controlling the rudder
            for the purpose of steering.
        (d) (Pottery) A potter's wheel. See under {Potter}.
  
                  Then I went down to the potter's house, and,
                  behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. --Jer.
                                                    xviii. 3.
  
                  Turn, turn, my wheel! This earthen jar A touch
                  can make, a touch can mar.        --Longfellow.
        (e) (Pyrotechny) A firework which, while burning, is
            caused to revolve on an axis by the reaction of the
            escaping gases.
        (f) (Poetry) The burden or refrain of a song.
  
     Note: ``This meaning has a low degree of authority, but is
           supposed from the context in the few cases where the
           word is found.'' --Nares.
  
                 You must sing a-down a-down, An you call him
                 a-down-a. O, how the wheel becomes it! --Shak.

  Wheel
     (Heb. galgal; rendered "wheel" in Ps. 83:13, and "a rolling
     thing" in Isa. 17:13; R.V. in both, "whirling dust"). This word
     has been supposed to mean the wild artichoke, which assumes the
     form of a globe, and in autumn breaks away from its roots, and
     is rolled about by the wind in some places in great numbers.
