HLCIIA FEESCHA DRIVING BELTS
~ WEI eg leave to call the attention Of Macbinists
and others to the following certificates relating to the
above Belts:
New YORK, April 18th, 1913.
oirs-1 GU 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 the machine since
It was hrst put on, all the time on the stretch ltook
1t OH yesterday and strange to say it has all the life
and spring it had the first day it was put
The three inch flat band, A it. long, not thicker than
case knife, has run over two months running 10
revolutions per minute. In fact consider it one of
the most important inventions OF the age These bands
have required no taking up since first put them on
therefore, no loss OF time as in leather.
10 express my opinion, must say, that ] consider
them far superior to any belts have used; there
appears to be no wear in them; they hug the puleys,
and work to perfection.
