As many as 310 sizes of industrial and fractional endless V-bolts can be replaced with only four reels of VeeLink, the link V-belt. From these handy reels required belt lengths are quickly uncoupled, made endless and installed. Belt replacements for any type drive are always on hand. Rapid turnover of VeoLink on reels eliminates spare belt deterior- ntion.
