Two young fairgoers rest inside the hub of a huge 10-foot-tall (3-meter) rubber tractor tire in front of the Caterpillar exhibit at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair held at Flushing Meadows Park in the Borough of Queens, New York, USA. Cat is the world’s leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, and nearly 200 of its earthmoving machines were used in construction of the 646-acre (261-hectare) fairgrounds. American corporations rather than countries from around the world were the major exhibitors at this largest of the world expositions ever held in the United States.
