Excerpt from Power Transmission by Leather Belting

The advent of high-speed steel and of intensive methods of production has rendered the problem of belt maintenance one of the most important of the many that the factory manager has to solve. In the machine shop belts must be proportioned to pull the heavier loads that are used in modern practice, and in any industry the belts must be so taken care of that the interruptions to manufacture due to belt failures will be reduced to the minimum. Interruptions to manufacture mean loss of production and loss of profits.
