Ferris wheel is named after George Washington gale Ferris, a bridge builder from rensler Institute of technology and a bridge builder in Pitturgh, Pennsylvania. He began to work in the railway industry, and later became interested in bridge construction. Recognizing the growing demand for structural steel, Ferris founded GWG Ferris & Co in Pitturgh, a company that tests and inspects metal materials for railways and bridges.
Ferris designed and manufactured Chicago wheels for the world Columbus Expo in Chicago, Illinois. The wheel is designed to rival the Eiffel Tower, the Paris Expo's central building, the largest attraction at the Columbia Expo, with an axle height of meters feet and driven by two steam engines. The axle is a solid hammered steel forging weighing up to one ton, 45 feet long and 32 inches in diameter.
There were cars, each car could hold people, and it took a few minutes for the wheels to turn twice. The first car stopped six stops to let passengers leave and enter the second, a single, uninterrupted revolution, for which the ticket holder paid cents. At the end of the Expo, the wheels were moved to the north, next to an exclusive block, William D Boyce filed an unsuccesul circuit court action against the owner of the wheel, allowing it to move and then use it at the St.
Louis World Expo, which was eventually destroyed by explosive controlled blasting in May, is a surviving example of the 19th century Ferris wheel, built at Prat Park in opodelstad, Austria, and at the techni Expo in Ibaraki, Japan Before COMOS, grand Roue de Paris was the tallest Ferris wheel in the world.

该车轮的设计意图是与巴黎博览会的中心建筑埃菲尔铁塔(Eiffel Tower)相媲美,它是哥伦比亚博览会上最大的景点,车轴高米英尺,由两台蒸汽机驱动。车轴是一个重达一吨的实心锤击钢锻件,长45英尺,直径32英寸。车上有汽车,每辆车能容纳人,车轮转两圈需要几分钟的时间,第一辆车停了六站,让乘客们离开并进入第二个,一个单一的不间断的,为此,持票人付了美分,当博览会结束时,轮子被移到北边,旁边是一个排外的街区,威廉·D·博伊斯(William D Boyce)对车轮的拥有者提起了不成功的巡回法庭诉讼,让它移动,然后在圣斯世界博览会上使用最终在xx月被控制爆破摧毁的维纳·里森拉德是19世纪摩天轮的一个幸存的例子,建于奥地利维也纳利奥波德施塔特区的普拉特公园,在日本茨城筑波世博会(Technicomos)建造之前,里森拉德大教堂(Grande Roue de Paris)是世界上现存最高的摩天轮。
