About Me
- Bob Cline
- I performed from 1973 to 1995 with a couple years off in between. I did an aerial cradle act for three years, low wire as a clown, trained llamas, ponies, then lions and tigers for 15 years. I am now a firefighter, a member of the Circus Historical Society and an author of several circus and carnival related subjects.

Interesting wagon #12
According to my notes from Gordon Potter,#12 was the first wagon to have its axles turned down and have truck hub asbys fitted to it and single pneumatic tires and wheels installed. This was in mid-season of 1934 and was maybe the first wagon to be fitted with rubber tires. This worked and dual wheels were added in 1935 to 110,111,126 light plant wagons. And #110 had the single pneumatic tires added to it.

Ivan Henry's Blog www.thecircusblog.com on July 30, 2010 had a set of color photos of RBBB moving out of the Sarasota quarters in the Spring of 1953. The new metal #12 is pictured in the cage cut of the train.
