INTRODUCTION
This handbook is intended to furnish the readerwith practical help for the every-day handling ofshafting, pulleys and belting. These are allied in theoperation of plants and it is a pretty generally concededfact that all three are much neglected by manyoperators.
A close perusal of these pages will enable the readerto determine the best course to pursue in the mostcommon instances and in various troubles, and in allarticles there are suggestions for similar cases whichmay arise.
For instance, the need of belt dressing as a preservative,now generally conceded by most authorities,is fully covered in Chapter XI and the result of a testmade by disinterested parties to find the degree ofefficiency of four of the best known dressings is given.
