  Forums at the Society - Stable Belts?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Most people suggest that stable belts originated with with some adapted piece of horse equipment and that may be true, yet I'm not aware of anything suitable that came in regimental colors.
Stable belts appear to have become popular in the late 1950's or early 1960's at about the same time as the heavy wool jersey began to be used for barrack dress, which again has no exact American equivalent.
The Stable Belts come in an enormous range of colours and some are of more than 2 tones with stripes and zig zags and all sorts.

 Stable belt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A stable belt is an item of uniform used in the armed forces of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries.
Originally, stable belts were worn by cavalrymen in the working dress they used for cleaning the stables and tending to their horses, but in the 1950s they spread to all branches of the armed forces, adding a splash of colour and individuality to the drab khaki working uniforms.
A stable belt is a wide webbing belt, usually a single solid colour or horizontally striped in two or more different colours.

 Stable Belts in the Australian Army 2
The colours on the belts have special significance and stem from the Regimental Colours and the colours of lace and facings on the uniforms of the original Units that the current units grew from or that are allied.
The stable belt was used by soldiers in both the British and Canadian Armies in WW1.
This decorated stable belt appears to be WW1 vintage and is decorated with the flags of the European Allies with, as usual, the Union Jack representing the Empire, not just UK.

Stable isotopes provide important insights into the formational conditions of acid mine drainage because, in addition to iron, the elements oxygen, hydrogen, and sulfur are the most important ones involved in this process.
Stable isotopes are also proving useful in the investigation of sulfur and water budgets in ground and surface waters in many other areas in the United States.
In the Mother Lode belt in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, California, the weathering of mine waste and its impact on the environment are being studied by using hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur isotopes.

The stability of a particular nucleus depends on a variety of factors, and no single rule allows us to predict whether a particular nucleus is radioactive and how it might decay.
The stable nuclei are located in the shaded area of the graph known as the belt of stability.
The colored band in Figure 21.2 is the area within which all stable nuclei are found and is known as the belt of stability.

An ‘Airborne’ Stable Belt was later produced, With a Pegasus buckle with a Black Belt, which was worn by 5 Airborne Brigade.
This was 'tailored' by using the Pegasus Buckle with a RAOC Belt.

 NASM Space Artifacts: Rocket Belt
However, the 20 + second duration of the rocket fuel required for the belt was found to be too short-lived for the device to be practical and the idea was abandoned.
The concept of a rocket belt stretches back to science fiction of the late 1920's comic strip hero "Buck Rogers" who is supposed to have travelled this way in the far future.
Today, the rocket belt like the original, are occasionally used for its entertainment and publicity value, at football half-time shows and in movie stunts.

 Atlantic Bearing & Drives: Belt Drives Page!!
Belts are used with pulleys in drives for high-volume products, such as home appliances and automobile engines, as well as machines built in small numbrs, such as heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems, and pumps.
The term 'Multiple' originated from the use of several belts to replace a single wide flat belt on a pair of shafts.
Woven endless belts made of cotton, nylon, or synthetic material are most often used in low-horsepower applications and at relatively high speeds.

 Kuiper-Oort   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The Kuiper Belt is a disk-shaped region past the orbit of Neptune extending roughly from 30 to 50 AU from the Sun containing many small icy bodies.
Occasionally the orbit of a Kuiper Belt object will be disturbed by the interactions of the giant planets in such a way as to cause the object to cross the orbit of Neptune.
It is estimated that there are at least 35,000 Kuiper Belt objects greater than 100 km in diameter, which is several hundred times the number (and mass) of similar sized objects in the main asteroid belt.

 Flat belt tracking on pulleys.
When the flat belt on such a pulley is off-center and the pulley rotating, the belt quickly moves up to the largest radius at the top of the crown and stays there.
If you said the belt will move to the right, just as the belt on the crowned pulley moves to a position of higher tension, you'd better rethink your answer, for this belt moves to the left, to lower tension.
This metal belt is not flexible, and the principle at work here is a bit different than for a leather or rubber belt, though the result seems superficially to be the same.

 Information Handout: Carolina Slate Belt Gold Deposits
Current U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) efforts in the slate belt are led by a multidisciplinary team focused on an integrated, multistate, and multiyear project that has the potential to result in a fundamental reinterpretation of the economic geology of the region.
The slate belt is considered a scientific frontier because of the rapid pace of data acquisition by the USGS, academia, and private sector geologists and because emerging concepts of its geologic evolution are controversial.
Aspects of other gold deposits in the slate belt, in contrast, resemble aspects of terrestrial geothermal systems in which metals were leached from volcanic and related rocks or from subvolcanic emanations.

 Belt Technologies, Inc. | Design Info - Belt Tracking   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Because metal belts are manufactured from strip material which has camber in it, one edge of the strip is longer than the other.
The metal belt should be steered to a stable tracking state, with the center of the belt width at the center of the pulley width.
Traditional elastomeric belt tracking designs such as crowned pulleys or flanges are used sparingly with metal belts.

 PSRD: Iron Meteorites as the Not-So-Distant Cousins of Earth
Over millions of years, a small fraction of this differentiated debris was scattered into the innermost region of the main belt, where it then stayed for billions of years until chance collisional and dynamical events sent it on a crash course to Earth.
Bottke and colleagues' prediction of these asteroid main belt gatecrashers could mean that some of the iron meteorites we hold in our hands today are pieces of the same precursor fabric that formed the Earth and other terrestrial planets.
Bottke and coauthors tracked tens of thousands of bodies that evolved amid a swarm of protoplanets spread between 0.5-3.0 AU (where 1 AU is defined as the average distance between Earth and Sun).

 Origin and dynamics of the heliospheric streamer belt and current sheet
The entropy per proton in the streamer belt often shows sharply defined regions of strongly different plasma; this implies that the origin of the filamentary structure is in initial conditions near the Sun because dynamical evolution can only equalize entropy.
The average entropy in the streamer belt increases by about the same factor as in the surrounding high-speed streams, indicating that this region is heated substantially, consistent with studies of the temperature evolution and with turbulence modeling.
Strong anticorrelations between density and both temperature and magnetic field magnitude are observed within the streamer belt but not in the surrounding regions, and these become weaker as the flow moves outward.

The generally accepted explanation for the existence of the asteroid belt is that constant gravitational disturbances from the nearby Jupiter would prevent any large body of mass to form.
Not to mention the simple observation that the asteroids in the belt are in stable orbits.
Some of the pieces will be kicked toward the Sun, some away from it; they would all end up in highly elliptical orbits which would lie outside the stable 'belt' we observe, for the larger part of the trajectory.
