Axle making techniques blossomed in the second half of the 19th century, following closely the development of wheelmaking. This industry saw tremendous changes throughout this period, moving from individual handmade wooden axles made by the wheelwright, to iron axles forged by the blacksmith and finally to the lathe-turned axle arms fabricated of iron and steel in factories.
