If they're the ones we used at WJIB, Boston, the base was almost 3 ft 
on a side. Our rumble problem was where the belt was joined. It made 
a slight bump in the belt and would thump every time the bump went 
over the motor spindle. We'd buy several belts and use the one with 
the least thump. I would think, today, that you could mold a belt 
with no joint.
