What is jiggered?

A kid's go cart made from a scaffold plank, some bits of wood (axles), a piece of rope (steering) and a set of pram wheels (preferably 'Silver Cross'). The term was certainly used in the Tottenham area of N.London during the late 60s.

'Look at those old pram wheels. They'd be great for a jigger'.
