Abstract
In an endless power transmission belt including a matrix made from an elastomer material, advantageously of the rubber type, and a longitudinal reinforcement of twisted cords, the reinforcement is chosen, with respect to its physical tension characteristics and its positioning in the matrix, so that the belt has an overall extension modulus sufficiently low so that it makes it possible to fit the belt, by exerting a tractive force, on the pulleys with which it cooperates and yet keeps a minimum appropriate tension after positioning so as to ensure satisfactory operation of the transmission which it equips.
