My mother lived as a child across the street from Whittle Belting, Warrington. A few years ago I found a few references to them on Google but nowadays cannot find any references. ISTR they were predecessors of Brammer link Belting. Does anyone know anything on this subject please? TIA

Thomas Whittle & Sons of Rose & Crown Street, Warrington, perhaps?

The Very same firm, Tom. They also made folding rowing boats as a sideline. As a kid I used to watch them test them in a large tank at the back. Can you find any references to the belting?

This should shed a bit of light:
Thanks Tom. I don't know how you worked that! Every time I try the site it only seems to give me recent entries. I will have to study the instructions. Thanks again.

I used to own a vintage Morris car (1927 manufacture) which used Whittle belting for the fan belt. It consisted of leather V sections riveted to steel plates.
