Three questions are posed, the answers to which are relevant to our understanding of the physical processes which shape the radio continuum morphology of normal spiral galaxies. Observations of the edge-on galaxy NGC 891 have been made for many years by several groups with the intention of contributing at least partial answers to these questions. We review here the work which we have recently done on this subject.
