Historical Note on Puzzles and Curious Problems by Henry Ernest Dudeney: $254$ - The Flanders Wheel
The $30$-move solution was that given by Dudeney.
The $28$-move solution was reported on by Martin Gardner, who set it as a puzzle for his readers to solve.
He notes that it is isomorphic with a sliding-block puzzle of $8$ blocks on a $3 \times 3$ square array.
He then references his Mathematical Games columns in Scientific American for March and June $1965$.
