Sherman Jaqua of Paterson NJ was 42 years old when he invented the locomotive wheel, patent # 37,206 for 'Rolling tires for Locomotive wheels' on Dec 16 1862 An adjustable frame and several sets of rollers were the basis of this invention. It seems that 'tires' are actually iron or steel wheels for trains. 1880 living in Chatham,NY as a farmer with his wife, Mary.
