The wheel was invented long ago and has many uses. Most large water pipes that can be hand operated have a valve with a wheel attached to open and close the valve. Water has always been the most necessary compound to support life. Water sources were often controlled by the owner of the property and sold or dealt to others at the will of the owner. In the instance of the term "Wheeling and Dealing" it is derived from the use of a wheel, often at the top of a penstock, to control the flow of water down stream. The owner of the water would make a deal for the water and control the flow with the wheel.
