Tom,

Why do long flat belt drives have a twist? 

Smaller short ones don't. Flat belt drives on line shafting sometimes do and
sometimes don't. I assumed this was simply to reverse the drive direction. 

I thought that with longer drives the belt is kept on the pulley(s) because
of the crowning of the pulley(s) which self centres the belt within
reasonable limits.

Amazing what they managed to do without paintshop pro.  I notice in the 
pictures that none of the pulley belts that they are using have a twist put 
in them, I'm sure the farmers of the day would have noticed that.
