Is it a machine for flat track tires, that is, tires for flat track racing? Or a machine whose track (or belt) is flat? Or something else?
Thank you!

Discussion
My client said it is a machine which has a flat belt and it is used to test tires (any tire, not only flat track tires), like this one:

I appreciate your attention!

The modern flat track tyre test stand operated by IABG allows the measurement of passenger car tyres, motorcycle and motoring tyres, respectively.
Because of that document, I'm not so sure that this refers only to track tires. That's why I would like to hear your impressions.
Thank you!
It is not exactly the same document, but it does refer to the same testing system.
