They are softer than the rubber/fabric belts currently available and he feels that they run more quietly. I am fortunate to have an original in my 1922 upright Stroud which is still performing beautifully after all these years. It is a V-belt with heavy linen or cotton stitching from top to bottom of the V along its entire length. Any comments about availability/desirability will be appreciated.
