HK 170

The original book shows the HK 170 version with "Height" spelled correctly and the Second Edition shows an HK 170 with "Height" spelled "Heigth". My theory is that the misspelling is an older version, corrected by the newer version. Neither book references the difference. Any thoughts?

There are two die varieties of this medal, one with HEIGHT and one with HEIGTH. Neither Eglit or H&K make note of the two dies. I think it was just chance that two different pictures were used in the two editions of the book. Middleton cataloged the Ferris Wheel medals in the December 1991 issue of TAMS Journal.
