A Forty-Seven Year Belt This twenty-four-inch Graton & Knight Belt has transmitted power on one drive for forty-three years. It withstood four years of neglect. Its efficiency today is unimpaired. In 1872 the helt was placed on a water- wheel drive in a woolen mill at Central Falls. R.I. For thirty-three years it did its work well. The plant was shut down in 1903 and was not reopened until 1907, when the Central Falls Mazda Lamp Division bought the pro- perty. Upon inspection the wheel-pit and part of the belt were found covered with rubbish. The belt was a sorry sight, and the first decision was to junk the mess. Cleaning operations, however, showed that the belt was practically uninjured. The power was turned on, the belt picked up its load, and has been carry- ing it ever since, driving a sixty-eight-inch pulley from a ninety-six-inch wheel. That this veteran of forty-seven years is do- ing a youngster's work today is proof positive of the quality of Graton & Knight Tannage of Leather. In 1872, as now, Graton & Knight were making the right belts for the job to be done. Graton & Knight have classified the require- ments of every kind of power transmission, and make a standardized belt to meet every demand. Write for their book ."Standardized Leather Belting," which gives valuable in- formation on belting power transmission. Canadian Graton & Knight, Ltd.
