Shafting, Pulleys, Belting and Rope Transmission

Originally published in 1908, this handbook was intended to furnish the reader with practical help for the everyday handling of shafting, pulleys, and belting. They are allied in operation of plants and it is a pretty generally conceded fact that all three are much neglected by many operators. Amongst the topics included are shafting hints, truing up line shafting, practical kinks, practical methods of loosening pulleys, splicing leather belts, belt creep, rope drives, splicing rope, and wire rope transmission.
