Great work! I couldn't get the download to work, though,
even though I typed in some of the OMR numbers you listed.

I also have a comment on the sets 123, 124 and 125.
Are those the correct wheels? My own 120 and 125 sets,
bought in 1970, had smooth hubs, I'm sure of that. Maybe
the original 1969 release had the ribbed hubs? (I have
never seen ribbed hubs on spoked wheels in real life.)

All spoked wheels LEGO released had smooth hubs and ten
spokes. When LEGO switched from studded wheels to spoked
wheels LEGO made prototypes with ribbed hubs and twelve
spokes. These prototype wheels were used in lots of
photographs for set covers and ideabooks, but the actual
sets were released with wheels with smooth hubs and ten
spokes. So far, not a single 12 spoked wheel with ribbed
hub is known to have left the LEGO factory in Billund.
