Convair B-36

Right main landing gear, from inside.  The gear door is rigidly attached to the strut by six links, three top and three bottom.  Visible is the top front link. 
A small section of the top of the door is folded over and a later picture will show an arm and roller that closes this door, which is held in the folded position by a spring.
