| Abstract from DBPedia | A spoke is one of some number of rods radiating from the center of a wheel (the hub where the axle connects), connecting the hub with the round traction surface. The term originally referred to portions of a log that had been riven (split lengthwise) into four or six sections. The radial members of a wagon wheel were made by carving a spoke (from a log) into their finished shape. A spokeshave is a tool originally developed for this purpose. Eventually, the term spoke was more commonly applied to the finished product of the wheelwright's work, than to the materials they used.スポーク（spoke）とは、輻（や）とも呼ばれる、車輪を構成する部材のひとつである。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Spoke) |
