These wheels were made of solid wood and turned on a simple axle.
They often have five axles and eighteen wheels and are sometimes known as 18-wheelers.
This also constrains the axle of the hinge under the staple.
When the primary axle is spinning and is in such contact with the track, it can be either rolling or sliding on the track.
A string is tied to the axle and the operator controls the motion of the yo-yo by moving it up and down.
The axle is fabricated using one layer of polysilicon.
So, rotation of the axle becomes particularly important if one seeks to avoid possible accumulation of debris where the gap is small.
