GUTTA PERCHA DRIVING BELTS
~ We beg leave TO call the attention of Machnists
and others to the following certificates relating to the
above Belts
New YORK, April 18th, 1913
Sirs-9 on desire me to give you my opinions regard
ing the Guta Percha Belts, after have tested them
sufficiently to form an opinion. The round Belt,
which had OF you first, has been in operation
three months and has remained on the machine since
1t was first put on, all the time on the stretch; took
OFT yesterday and strange to say, 1t has all the lie
and spring it had the first day it was put on.
The three inch flat band, a #. long not thicker than
case knife, has run over two months, running 10
in fan 81 f. long, at speed of thirty flee hundred
revolutions per minute. In FACT consider it OF
the most important inventions ofthe age. These bands
have required no taking up since first put them on
therefore, no loss of time as in leather.
Toexpress my opinion, | must say, that | consider
them far superior any belts have ever used; there
appears to be no wear in them; they hug the pueys,
and work to perfection.
