    Hmmm this post got me thinkin!

    Re Belt Drives....

    This design, link below, will allow the drive to be preloaded using 1 full length fixed open ended belt and a conventional belt with teeth facing out.

    If you study the design you will see that the two sections in contact with the fixed belt can be moved towards or apart from each other thus changing the effective pitch of the small belt sections. This will enable a small amount of preload to be set.

    Easy enough to do with a few ball bearings.
