PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Manufacture of Flat Gut Belting.
I, JOHN GRIFFIN of Ballymacthomas Cork, Ireland, Manufacturer of Gut Belting
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :—
This Invention has reference to an improved method of weaving whereby I am
enabled to produce flat Gut Belting of any suitable width, or length for use in
connection with flat pulleys or wheels.
In carrying out my invention I prepare in the first instance suitable strands of gut
by spinning on a wheel, in the ordinary way, and then take several of these strands
(say five or six) and spin them into one string, or thread according to the thickness of
the belt to be made. The strings or threads thus prepared are then strained, and
softened in water, or oil until they are soft enough to weave close, when they are
placed in the loom (in number according to the width of belt to be made) and
are woven as close as possible by twilling (or tweeling) or in any other way
desirable.
When the weaving process is completed the belt is taken from the loom and
dried when it is ready for use.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Manufacture of Flat Gut Belting.
I, JOHN GRIFFIN of Ballymacthomas Cork, Ireland, Manufacturer of Gut Belting,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is
to be porformed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This invention has reference to improvements in the manufacture of Gut Belting,
whereby I am enabled to produce Belts, or Bands of this material, of sufficient width
and length for use in connection with flat pulleys, or wheels.
In carrying out my invention I prepare in the first instance suitable strands of Gut
by spinning on a wheel in the ordinary way, and I then take several of these strands,
according to the thickness and strength of the Belt to be made, and spin them into
one string or thread. The strings or threads thus prepared are then strained and
softened in water, or oil until they are soft enough to weave close, when a sufficient
number according to the width of Belt to be produced are placed in the loom and
woven as close as possible by twilling (or tweeling) or in any other suitable way
found convenient. When the weaving process is complete the fabric is taken from
the loom and dried when it is ready for use as a commercial article.
Having thus described and ascertained the nature of iny said Invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, I would have it understood that what
I claim is
The use, and application of Gut Belting, produced in the manner herein described,
that is to say, by first spinning suitable threads in the ordinary way, then spinning
several of these threads according to the thickness and strength of fabric to be made
into one strand, and finally placing the strands thus prepared (having been previously
