The Columbia belts are generally about a half inch wide and contain three rows of stitching that run the length of the belt. I don't know anyone that is reproducing this type of belting material, I wish someone would. It is very intresting stuff. If you don't have any luck on this, I do have a sheet of very thin leather from which I cut my own belt material, and I can custon cut you a belt of the correct width. I have a Columbia BE and I got it with Edison standard width belting, and that doesn't really work too well because the upper pulley on the Columbia Lyric machines are not flat surfaced, but have a slight swell to them and Edison style belts tend to travel on these pulleys.

Drive belts are usually made on site from a strip of leather whose ends are feathered and glued together. Is there something special about this one?
