FERRIS’S BIG IDEA

Ferris wanted to make a big wheel—a REALLY big wheel. It would be as tall as a 25-story building. It would be strong, like his bridges. It would have spokes, like a bicycle wheel. People would ride in cages on his big wheel.

Spokes like the ones on a bike’s wheel would hold the Ferris wheel together.
