Traveling at 4400 feet per minute, it makes its circuit fifty times every sixty seconds. For every one of these revolutions, each part of the belt must slacken and tighten itself, practically once a second. To be efficient, it must do this without loos- ening its grip on the pulleys, without jumping or slipping. That this 48" Heart Belt does transmit power efficiently is evidenced by the fact that it is delivering 250 more horse-power, or over 40% in excess of that for which it had been designed. It has been doing this for over 8 years. The test of such conditions seems impos- sibly severe, and yet this belt succeeds because it is made from the right material—leather— which has retained so many of the wonderful properties that fit it to be the skin of a power- ful, active, living animal. In order that our leathers may meet these almost impossibly severe requirements of elas- ticity and pulley grip, we tan them ourselves specifically for belting use, handling 1,000 hides a day. That we may ofifer always the right belt for the re
