Many tracks at the time were relatively shallow-banked, which meant a somewhat lower bottom bracket and less steep angles would not lead to disaster. Interesting that someone would make both a "track" and "path frame," as these essentially mean the same thing, but perhaps someone squeezed out a distinction for marketing purposes. I'd be interested in seeing that catalog or knowing who the maker was.
