Yep, I remember having both types (screw on and wheel) over the years, I
think the screw ons were on the pdp8. The little short corporate rack of
the pdp11V03 has a wheel.
They are nice because there is nothing more annoying than having a rack
fall over on you. Or have it fall over while you get out of the way,
then you have to roll it on its' side to get things out so you can lift
it back up. Don't ask me how I know.

I have to admit I have never seen anything like that on any of
my DEC racks.? All of mine had the single foot in the middle
that slid out to keep the rack from tipping forward. As a matter
of fact, none of my racks even looked like that.? Interesting.
I just confirmed by looking at the one rack I have left (sure
could use one or two more, though.? Sorry I gave all mine away)
and it definitely doesn't look like that.
