<p dir="ltr">Some company at least use to make a swivel caster where it was indeed centered - axle directly in line with pivot - as Brian refers to. I know because I had a shell show up on a project with them - a misunderstanding for sure. I can't see a use for them ever but I seem to recall in a catalog they were used mounted up on a table or bed and large cargo containers were pushed around on them.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I learned if the zero throw (triple swivel, etc.) In the 1980s - a YSD Tech Brief - I think James Bender? - but somewhere heard a tale of a stage hand and a castered light base and mounting that under a platform. Pretty good concept in any case, having pushed scenery wagons in college in the 1970s with just 4 swivels. Funny how no one appreciates an F bomb from a freshman in a quick set change blackout.</p>
