Have you compared letters with others on page??

I think it is definately "Wheelwright"

There are too many "long" letters for it to be "Wheelsmith" it would have to be spelled something like"Wheelsmifth"!!!!

Also what is a wheelsmith??
I can't find it in "old occupations"

no meaning in Urban dictionary

there are present day compnies with the names "Wheel Smith"

 ?????
