<div dir="ltr">Abe and Jimmy,
<div>Thanks for the responses.and I agree with your reasoning, but still, one thing niggles at me. If it's dust, why doesn't it coat the faces of the wheels as well? Seems like they would have been as greasy/oily as the trucks and just as apt to attract the
light gray dust. Would there have been some part of their operation that might have kept them "cleaner"?</div>
<div>Thanks again,</div>
<div>Jim </div>
