Abstract
A guide link for use in a power transmission chain having a plurality of other links. The other links have a pair of spaced apertures and have a thickness and a hardness. The guide link has a pair of spaced apertures surrounded by a pair of upward extending toes. The toes have an outside flank and an inside flank with the inside flanks joined by a rounded crotch. The root of the crotch depends below the uppermost portion of the apertures. The thickness and hardness of the guide link is different from the other links so that the guide link has a yield load that is less than the yield load of the other links.
