Rotary Wheel  History Part One
In 1905, Paul Harris and his club agreed a wheel should be the emblem of Rotary. Harry Ruggles, a printer, chose a buggy wheel that was simple in design, a bold circle with a hub and spokes. It was enthusiastically accepted by the first Rotary Club, of which Ruggles was member number five.
 
Ruggles is therefore credited for designing the first "print" or "name badge" version of the wheel.
By 1906, some thought the design was too plain. Montague M. Bear, an engraver, added a few clouds (that looked like dust) and little marks to the design to indicate a wheel in motion. The
words "Rotary Club" were added above the wheel.

When someone pointed out that a"cloud of dust could not be raised fore and aft, even by Rotary," the design was changed again. The clouds of dust were subdued and a ribbon reading "Rotary Club" was added across the wheel. The words "Rotary Club", above the wheel, were replaced by "Chicago".

Other Rotary clubs had been forming, using the wheel as a basic design. Many added features to identify their club with their city, such as a buffalo for Buffalo, N.Y., an oak tree for Oakland, Calif., etcetera.
 
In 1910, there were 16 Rotary Clubs and 16 designs. That was the year of the first Rotary convention, held in Chicago, the birthplace of Rotary. The National Association of Rotary Clubs was formed. The word "Chicago", above the wheel, was replaced by "National Association".
