ABSTRACT:
A high speed transportation system designed to reduce frictional heat generated between the wheels and the track upon which the wheels are rotating in which a plurality of wheels are successively placed in contact with a track having a concave surface and removed therefrom so as to provide an "out of contact" period for cooling of the wheels. The concave surface of the track is provided with helically curved ribs which effect rotation of the carriage carrying the wheels thereby bringing the wheels successively into and out of contact with the rail.
