culty. It is a hinge lacing which allows it to pass around 

 small pulleys and tighteners without straining. The ends 

 of the belt are protected against fraying. In the example 

 illustrated, there are twenty-eight strands of lacing con- 

 necting two ends of the belt. 



The illustrations 

 show a 5-inch belt, 

 the size used to drive 

 the wind stacker. To 

 make this lacing, first

 one edge of the belt, passing the lace up through the out- 

 side hole in one end and then down between the ends of 

 the belt and up through the hole in the other end of belt. 

 Notice that the lace passes twice through each hole. When 

 the ends of the lace have been put through the holes, both 

 must be passed between the ends of the belt to the opposite 

 side as shown in A, Fig. 55. When this is done, put the ends 

 through the same holes again, then pass them both be- 

 tween the ends of the belt to opposite side as at B. One 

 end should not be put through two holes in succession 

 and both ends of the lace must be passed through between 

 the ends of the belt to the opposite side before either is
