Rotary Minute: R Emily shared some history about the Rotary wheel emblem. Started as a simple wagon wheel with many variations by clubs. Meant to portray civilization and movement. In 1922 there was a desire for a single design and in 1923 the gear cog was adopted. The engineers pointed out the need for the key way as that made is a wheel that would have a driving force.
