Abstract
Fabricating method for an elongated woven-wire belt for direct-contact dynamic-frictional-drive along an inner perimeter lateral edge portion when the belt is moving in a path which is curved in a lateral direction with respect to its lengthwise direction. A curved path structure for support of such belt is disclosed along with methods of assembly and operation of curved path support structures. Lengthwise collection and extension uniformly across the width of the woven-wire belt is provided, along with selection of direction of movement providing for reversing direction of movement without requiring modification of the belt structure or curved path support structure. Provision is made for selectively controlling rates of movement of the woven-wire belt in a curved path support structure and for controlling rate of movement of the belt when exterior to a multi-layer curved-path tower structure.
