An archival technical study detailing the starboard landing gear wheel and shock strut fairing of the Ryan NYP. Photographed from ground level on Dutch Flats, the view highlights the perimeter lacing of the fabric-doped wheel disc, the pneumatic Silvertown tire, the lower axle pivot spindle, and the vertical aerodynamic shock boot enclosing the internal rubber bungee cords. The sharp shadow cast on the dirt runway emphasizes the rugged construction required for overload operations.
