Around music, tonewheels may well refer to optical tonewheels.
One of the better known ones will be the optigan, which is basically PCM-like in optical form.
There are various similar ideas.
The Hammond organ, for example, uses gears and magnetic pickups as a (near-sine) tonewheel.
And many more experimental things
