Why do the wheels on observatories always go below the base ring and face up? I'm thinking of attaching them to the top of the ring on the dome, on a hinge, so they can be pushed down through the base ring to ride on a ring attached to the knee wall. When not engaged, the dome will be sitting flat on the base ring not on the wheels. This should help to keep the weather out while not in use, and make it easier to tie down during the rare toronado that passses by. that is attached to the dome.
