I thought i would enter this saxon even though its not amazing i thought it still looked pretty neat and maybe it will get more people entering their stuff.

This was made by me and joe609 so its a joint effort(we know pyro is attually our team name)

 

The drivers are using a simple bp and Al compostion with extra bits of charcoal for more sparks.

Let me get everything straight:

 

I thought a Catherine Wheel was a string of pyrotechnical composition rolled up, and when lit it spins.

 

A "normal" wheel or pinwheel was the type of wheel that use drivers with thrust in the end of the driver which is placed in an angle that makes the wheel spin.

 

A saxon is like a pinwheel, but instead having thrust at the end has a vent hole drilled in the side, the saxon drivers are placed in a line, only with vent holes different ways.

 

What am I missing here?

Not alot, you are correct on your descriptions. I only called it a saxon at the time because I didn't know what else to call it (as it was a year ago and i was fairly new to pyro).
