star-wheeln.

Brit.

/ˈstɑːwiːl/, U.S.

/ˈstɑrˌwil/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: star n.¹, wheel n.

Etymology: < star n.¹ + wheel n. In sense 2 perhaps after German Sternrad notched or toothed wheel (1718).

†1. A firework consisting of a series of rockets mounted on a frame shaped like a star, designed such that while burning it will rotate rapidly around its central point. Cf. Catherine wheel n. 3. Obsolete. rare.

1766 R. Jones Artific. Fire-works (ed. 2) vi. 258 The projected star wheel, must turn on the same spindle.

1891 Trans. Inst. Engineers & Shipbuilders Scotl. 35 34 The various types of rotary engines hitherto produced have been classified under the following headings—1, Reaction engines... The Æolopile described by Hero, of Alexandria, with such modifications as..the fireworks ‘star wheel’, come under the first class.

2. Any of various notched, toothed, or spoked wheels forming part of a given mechanism, esp. (a) a notched or toothed wheel used in clockwork to regulate or measure movement; (b) (in later use) a ratchet wheel used in drum brakes to regulate brake pad wear.
