R.R. 199 (250T) (SD676 19-7-17) MP 180865 Contd. -2- RB{R. Bowen}/G23.8.20. unstable under such conditions, but in this case the actual road track was only very little wider than the car track, and the curvature was very great, my impression being that it was something like a belt running on a hollow pulley instead of a crowned.
