Hi Everyone,

We are currently restoring a late 19th ca. early 20th ca. working
model of an industrial plant and it has power transmission belting for
a drive system that we need to replace (the orignals are worn and
fragile). The orignial flat belts are made of canvas with some
evidence of another material having been applied to the surface.

Does anyone out there know of modern sources of such flat industrial
belting that I can possibly use for this project? I have heard that
some living history museums that interpret workshops and factories
from this period do have some operating belt drive systems.

Any leads would be appreciated!

Thanks!
Dave
