strand of lacing, or whang, joins the holes punched to receive 

 it, and, also, because these strands cross each other on the 

 side opposite the pulley but once, as shown in Fig. 332. 

 Patent Belt Fastenings. Many patented belt fastenings 

 are on the market. Some of them are very good, and most of 

 them can be applied in less time than it takes to lace a belt. 

 The pattern which is easily applied and removed consists of a 

 series of metal loops extending thru each end of the belt, thru 

 which a rawhide stick is passed (Fig. 337).
