In this episode I cover what a drive belt is. We talk about serpentine belts, the evolution of the drive system - from ropes to flat belts, to vee-belt and finally to today's multitooth belts. I talk a little about drive belt layouts, and how belts are constructed and wear.
We also talk about the PK number on belts.
