In this particular type of belt in conjunction with the use of nylon fabric in the base section, it has been found that increased longitudinal strength may be imparted to the Abelt Without depriving it of the necessary strength for anchoring belt fasteners by replacing one of the fabric plies in the tension section with a row of 4 These cores may be cut either as continuous rings by means of parallel knife cuts or may be cut in long strips by moving a knife horizontally across the drum to cut a long spiral core from the drum. The cores are then covered with cement and wrapped. In the form shown the core has two covers, the inside of which is applied in U shape and the outer cover applied Aentirely around the belt witha lapfat the top. Th'ecovers are applied mechanically by means of a covering The covered belts still in an uncured while in a stretched condition and are then removed and teeth punched from the compression section while in a frozen condition. The punched belts are then thawed. At this point the belts are cemented between the teeth and a bias strip rayon or nylon cord having the proper dimenp sions.1 Other` materials are not suitable for this purpose. The diameter of the cord used should not exceed the thickness of the space between fabric plies created by the elimination of a single ply of fabric.` In general the diameter of the cord used will range between 0.030 in. and 0.080 in. The cords may bespaced in the row or may be contiguous.
In the manufacture of this belt a building drum is selected having the desired diameter. Layers of square-Woven rubberized fabric forming the compression section are then Wound concentrically upon one another around the drum by rotating the drum. The compression section may be composed, for example, of rubberized cotton duck Ywhich is frictioned and skimmed with a layer yof vulcanizable rubber composition. Of course, each layer will have the desired gauge depending upon the final size of the desired belt.
'I'he desired number of layers of square-woven nylon fabric which are frictioned and skim coated with rubber compound are then wound around the compression section. The desired number of layers of bias fabric necessary to make the bias section are then superimposed upon the nylon layers. Thereafter, the tension section is applied. This fabric may be the same as that of which the-compression section is composed and is applied in the necessary number of layers.
'I'he rubber compositions which may be used will include the natural and synthetic rubber materials Well known to the art, including the conjugated diolen polymers and copolymers with styrene or acrylic nitrile, such as the buna rubbers, the polychloroprene polymers, such as neoprene, and other Vulcanizable resilient elasticV rubber-like materials commonly classified as synthetic rubbers. Of course, these compositions contain Vulcanizing agents, accelerators, fillers, etc. as well known to the prior art. One type of belt commonly constructed contains 11 plies of fabric in the compression section, 3 plies of nylon and 2 plies of cotton fabric in the bias section, and '7 plies of cotton fabric in the tension section; These layers are skim coated with natural rubber compositions before application to the drum. Where a cord layer is used-as shown in Fig. 3, the winding of fabric in the tension sectionis carried out in two steps with a layer of rayon cord being wound at or near the neutral axisfof the'belt. At this point, the` various layers which form the core of the belt have been applied and the individual belt cores are cut from the drum in the manner known to the art.

The same type of construction may be utilized such f in the manufacture of endless belts where construction is desired.
