The document summarizes: 1) The Rotary emblem has undergone several design changes since its inception in 1905. 2) In 1919, the Rotary board adopted a design by Charles Mackintosh featuring six spokes and 24 cogs. 3) This design was further modified in 1924 to include a keyway and became the standard emblem still used today.
