I remember a conversation in the 70's about the first NASG
standards committee chairman who proposed the code 110 wheel for "S".
I forget his wheel, but I was told that things go so heated up over
the direction of standards that he quit S gauge. One reason for
considering the code 110 is that HO wheel contour tools could be used
to make S scale wheels. There was a real lack of wheelsets in the
60's and by using the HO tool, the cost for new wheels would be
reduced as it would be easier to convince an HO mfg. to make S
wheelsets using the same tools. At least that is what I was told.

PS I think the chairman's last name was Peters....
