being tensioned on the loaded side.  This is not generally a good idea.


	


I noticed that as well.  Actually, it looks like there are backside idlers 

on BOTH sides of the belts, presumably to move the belts closer together 

behind the frame.  Still not a good idea (to have a backside idler on the 

tension side).

You may well be right (that it is a bad idea in this application).  That 

doesn't mean it would _always_ be a bad idea.
