The speed series contains 3 unusual episodes of threshold and
near-threshold speeds:

   lines 3990 - 4248 (0300 16 Oct 93 - 1500 06 Nov 93) 
   lines 6087 - 6285 (2100 08 Apr 94 - 0900 25 Apr 94)
   lines 8486 - 8552 (1900 25 Oct 94 - end of record)

These episodes may represent a failure of the speed sensor;
use these data with caution.
