Default landing gear interface.

Hi there..

I have no idea about aviation so excuse me if this is a dumb question.

Why is that on planes the landing gear:

a) has such an unique interface relative to the other avionics. E.g Why the
long handle?
b) What is the purpose of the wheel at the end of the landing gear arm?


Cheers
Steve
