nounrollability (uncountable)
- uncountableThe quality of being rollable.
Like Tees, Tyne and Healey Mills are semi-automatic in operation, in that the hump operator personally controls the secondary retarders, on which he selects one of six leaving speeds, based on his judgment of a cut's rollability and speed and the degree of siding occupation on its destined route.
