Excerpt from A Treatise on Belts and Pulleys: Embracing Full Explanations of Fundamental Principles; Proper Disposition of Pulleys; Rules, Formulas, and Tables for Determining Widths of Leather and Vulcanized-Rubber Belts and Belts Running Over Covered Pulleys; Strength and Proportions of Pulleys, Dr We have made 'no efforts to obtain the coefficient of fric tion When we can obtain a homogeneous material which will be easily workable and a perfect substitute for leather, the manufacture, sale, use, and study of belting may begin to be a matter of satisfaction; in the meanwhile they are puzzling, if not indeed exasperating. These extracts (many more of similar nature might be given) show almost no knowledge at all, on the part of our great belt manufacturers and machine-shops, concerning the subject; and Worse still in some cases, that little or no effort has been made to obtain any knowledge other than that of rough guesswork and rule of thumb. Small wonder is it, then, that the ordinary mechanic's practical knowledge of the subject is infinitely small. Several of the parties above referred to state that they use the rules found in the various books of reference; let us look over some of these works and endeavor to reach fair conclusions concerning the rules and formulas in common use to - day.
