[For part I, cf. the preceding review.] In the spatial sections \(t=const.\), the real singularity at \(R=0\) of the Curzon solution has the structure of a ring with finite radius. With the help of a new coordinate system a class of incomplete geodesics became extendible. The Curzon solution is found to be a peculiar kind of sandwich wave.
