This website was originally my consulting business website.  I have maintained the ownership of the Beltguy domain and now use it as a link page for various sites that I maintain.  My consulting website has been changed as noted below.

Where did the name beltguy come from?  When I worked for The Gates Rubber Company, I hosted a customer question and answer site under the name "beltguy".  After I retired, I obtained that domain name and used it for several years.  However, that caused some confusion when I consulted on hose products.  As a result, I obtained the domain name hoseandbeltguy.com and that has become the site for information on my consulting business.

I just recently documented one of my fascinating Gates projects:  blower belts for NHRA fuel cars.  This page includes links to articles published in National Dragster - including my technical paper on the subject.  The link is listed below.
