V-belts
A common method of storing belts is to hang them on pegs or
pin racks. Very long belts stored this way should use sufficiently
large pins or crescent-shaped “saddles” to prevent their weight
from causing distortion. Long V-belts may be “coiled” in loops
for easy distortion-free storage. The following table is a guide to
the maximum number of coils for extended storage time:
