Mollwo, 72 English Quay, St. Petersburg,Russia, for full particulars. PATENT GROOVED SABLE RAWHIDEBELTING. The well-known qualities of the belting made by theShultz Belting Company, St. Louis, namely, durabilityand power, arise from thCfact that the material is tannedonly on the surfaces, thus preserving a rawhide interiorwith a soft kid finish on the driving surface. This isclaimed to give better contact with the pulley and yet notdetract from its durability and power. The latest improvement of this able company is thepatent grooved sable rawhide belt, shown in our engrav-. ing. It is made of the same oak tanned material as theother belts, with the peculiarity, obvious to the eye, ofgrooves running lengthwise. These grooves are intendedto serve as channels for the escape of air, thus obviatingthe air cushion, without the necessity of puncturing thebelt. The grooves are kept constantly clean by the aircurrent itself and it may be run either with slack top orbottom. The company has the highest confidence in thegrooved belt and will send it on trial to responsibleparties. The St. Louis Electric Light & Power Com-pany, having three of this style of belt for two years,says that it is a good driver, runs slack, shows no sign ofwear and is perfectly noiseless.
