Abstract
In a previous paper (Paper I), several superposed Weyl solutions of Einstei n equations were investigated that might have some astrophysical relevance. We drew the gravitational field lines in the superposed space-limes and th e distortions of the Schwarzschild event horizon induced by the additional matter. Here we are concerned with the motion of free test particles in the same fields. In particular, the influence of the parameters (mass and loca tion) of the additional sources on the positions of important circular equa torial geodesics is studied.
