In order to complete 784 yards of belting a day over 1600 yards of stitching, for she fastened both edges of the belt she was forced, of course, to work as fast as she could feed and guide belts under the needle. She had strong eyes. But her back ached from the stooping to guide the material, and she suffered cruelly from pain in her shoulders. There had been seventeen weeks of this work.
He has also introduced improved methods for putting the links together. For more than twenty years after Mr. Roullier's visit, nothing was done with leather link belting in this country. In 1882, however, Mr. N.W. Hall, of Newark, N.J., patented a link belt, composed of leather and steel links.
They had not been a minute too soon; for presently they heard the sound of footsteps. Farmer Ellison was coming up the stairs. Then the lantern appeared at the top of the stairway, and the bearer came into view. They saw him go from one corner to another, throwing the lantern rays now overhead among the tangle of belting, now behind some beam.
The following is as near as we can estimate the weight of leather link belting per square foot: 1 inch thick, about 5 lb. per sq. ft. 7/8 " " " 4½ " " " 3/4 " " " 4 " " " 5/8 " " " 3½ " " " Upon motion a vote of thanks was passed, and the paper read ordered to be printed. By A.E. OUTERBRIDGE, JR.
Accordingly, Edison installed on the locomotive a system of belting, including an idler-pulley which was used by means of a lever to tighten the main driving-belt, and thus power was applied to the driven axle. This involved some slipping and consequent burning of belts; also, if the belt were prematurely tightened, the burning-out of the armature.

They looked and saw the billowy sea, With its boundless rush of water's free, Belting the firm earth, far and wide, With the flow of its deep, untainted tide; And wondering viewed, in its clear blue flood, A quick and scaly-glancing brood, Sporting innumerous in the deep With dart, and plunge, and airy leap; And said, "Full sure a GOD doth reign King of this watery, wide domain, And rides in a car of cerulean hue O'er bounding billows of green and blue; And in one hand a three-pronged spear He holds, the sceptre of his fear, And with the other shakes the reins Of his steeds, with foamy, flowing manes, And coures o'er the brine; And when he lifts his trident mace, Broad Ocean crisps his darkling face, And mutters wrath divine; The big waves rush with hissing crest, And beat the shore with ample breast, And shake the toppling cliff: A wrathful god has roused the wave Vain is all pilot's skill to save, And lo! a deep, black-throated grave Ingulfs the reeling skiff."
In letting the prisoners on contract, the State furnishes the shop to the contractor rent free, also the motive power, shafting and belting, keeping these in repair. In managing the prisoners, each officer has his assigned position and duty, and everything is conducted with a precision closely approximating that of a military character.
We could bridge our small rivers with logs and be flood-bound when the rains descended. We could live by wheelbarrow transit like the Chinaman and leave to some braver race the task of belting the world with railroads and bridging the seas with iron boats. Nobody compels us to stand shoulder to shoulder and fight off nature's calamities as the French fought off their oppressor at Verdun.
Men boasted of powdered soap emptied into water tanks that fed boilers, of kerosene applied to belting, of railroad switches that had been tampered with. With these and many similar examples before them, the public became convinced that the mere arresting of a few leaders was futile.
