Abstract
The authors did the field survey of the oxcarts in the Turkish western coastal zone in 1998. Overviews of them were released at the annual meeting of 2007. However, it did not lead to the specification data of the oxcarts. In the present report, authors tried to clarify the dimensional data and structure about oxcart having two wheels which was exhibited to the Ephesus Museum in the Selcuk city. As a result, authors have made clear that the interval of the travelling wheel of the oxcart is almost same as 1,435 mm (4 ft. 8.5 in.) of the standard gauge of the railway in today.
