BELTS OF STEEL.
After being abandoned for the last few years, endless steer belts are coming into use in Germany. The belts are very thin steel bands, from 0.04 to 0,36 inch thick, and on the other hand they are very broad, from 8 to 16 inches. Such bands are made by hot rolling, then a cold drawing of the metal and special tempering, using best Swedish steel. The joint is made by the new Eloesser method, using a coupling plate, which is welded to the band in connection with screw joints. It is stated that an adhesive material is applied to the pulley side of the steel belt so as to prevent slipping.
