Unusual but typical photo of a gallows turntable

Hi,
Someone at the Nevada State Railroad Museum sent me some photos of their A frame gallows turntable when I was designing my HO scale model kit. I am not sure who took the photos.
I was looking at the attached photo and it brings home the point that the gallows turntable required the item being turned to be balanced on the center.
I do not recall ever having seen another photo of a ring rail wheel not touching the ring rail.
FWIW
