Equipco – Equipment
Specialties Division of Union
Asbestos & Rubber Co.
During the first half of the
1930s, Equipco supplied
car builders with a 22-inch
cast malleable iron wheel
with six spiral spokes (7).
The design was modified in
1935 with an enlarged hub
with six round holes in each
segment (8). In the late
1930s Equipco modified the
hub again by changing the
round holes to triangular
sections and adding a dozen
small rectangular holes in
the rim (9).
