Why Seven?

Nothing is a headache to lay out or make with CAD-CAM system and CAD everything else in between.

It was different with a T-square and drafting board. Back then we had a saying, never draw more in the morning than you can erase in the afternoon.

I'll bet some style guy wanted 7. Probably because he think chicks like it.

Maybe Doorman has 7 spoke wheels on his "chick magnet".

Naw, I only have three spoke wheels on the chick magnet...

The other one is a moonie, and the spare is a plain steel wheel (but it's flat).

Maybe it just looks good....

My guess is it's more flexible to have an odd number of spokes. Many of these wheels have cast parts, and castings are more brittle than stamped steel. A wheel has to take the abuse of potholes and speed bumps.

"A wheel has to take the abuse of potholes and speed bumps."

And don't forget the flaming idiots behind the other wheel.

English Monark = 7 point star / David Shepard = 6 point star (Male) / State (Female) 5 point star / Intersection = 4 point star / Pyramid = 3 point star.

P. S. : Intersection = Center of North. South, East & West. (Self)

I admit a 7 pointed star or any design with 7 spokes or sectors can be laid out using a CAD program, but actually laying it out manually from the CAD generated dimensions, will always be very approximate. It could be done without manual layout with a CNC machine, but how would it have been done before computers?

The only thing I could think of would be to discourage copying such as a sherrif's badge. 360° divided by 7 = 51.42857143°, a number difficult to measure and layout.

In the Automotive Blue Printing Manual, has a Degree Wheel of 360 Deg'sl Set it on a large Poster Paper,sheet. The Center to the Dot in the middle of the paper. Make a Dot each 51.5 Deg. Than Make a Line from center to each Dot. ( where do you get the Deg. Symbol, on the key bord?)

"( where do you get the Deg. Symbol, on the key bord?)"

Bert, you can get one two ways:
You can superscript the letter 'O' or a zero, or you can hit the Omega key (Ω) on the CR4 toolbar for a special character selection. The degree sign is available there.

I understand some browsers don't have the entire CR4 toolbar enabled.
