Results of investigations conducted by transport authorities of Birmingham, Coventry, Leicester, Manchester, and new satellite town in Buckinghamshire in Great Britain on French SAFEGE elevated suspended system for suburban passenger transport; advantages of system are that tracks, motor-trucks, and conductor rails within beamway are weather protected; enclosed beamway together with use of pneumatic tired wheels provides very silent operation internally and externally; curves can be of small radius; 100 ft is possible in sidings and vertical curves of 700-ft radius and gradients of 1 in 10 are possible.
