Tank transfer (decal) on 1936

[rarb54]

Can someone please tell me what the gas tank transfer (decal) on a 1936 flathead or knucklehead is called? Some refer to it as a flying wheel whereas the HD literature (The Enthusiast) simply refers to it as an art deco transfer. What is the correct name and where did it get that name from? Rob:

Why do you think parts had official names? The parts book simply calls it a transfer. The sales literature discribes it as Art Deco design. Why? Because that is what the guy writing the text described it as. Old timers I met back in the '60's refered to it as Wampum, because of its Native American looking design. I have also heard it called Straight Arrow, and recently someone else called it Winged Wheel.
What was the "Official" name of the dash used on a 1936? How about the camshaft? Or the Tail Lamp? OK, Tail lamp isn't fair because the MoCo actually called it a Beehive in factory sales literature. But names for other parts are for the most parts nicknames. Call it what you want.

Wampum is a PA small town located in the western part of the state. Indians called it this because of it's richness in fur, game, and soil. My Grandparents told me the name stood for money. They were raised just outside of Wampum. Paps
