179 has a Brill Radiax truck where the axles can twist to take corners.
The attached Brill ad describes it.
Geelong and Launceston also had trams on Radiax trucks and Christchurch
had them under trailers.
The T class served for many years in Footscray which had some sharp
curves, so it apparently worked.
Mal Rowe - who notes that Brill did not sell a lot of these - probably
because bogie trams were becoming the norm at the time.
