I think Reisenrad is translated, "travel wheel." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.202.230.102 (talk) 14:26, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Right: "travel wheel" would be "Reiserad" in German while "Riesenrad" is more appropriately translated as "giant wheel" ("ein Riese" is "a giant") —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.42.24.115 (talk) 18:49, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Walter Bassett Basset (1864-1907)
The following source reports abt. Walter Bassett Basset (1864-1907). His family name is written as "Basset" (one t at the end). It says his name will be perhaps chiefly remembered in connection with the erection of 'great wheels' for amusement purposes, especially those at Earl’s Court, Blackpool, Paris and Vienna.

Question: Does this source seem to be reliable enough? --Gerhardvalentin (talk)
