Abstract: The application discloses a dimensionally stable link-belt comprising a multiplicity of helical coils arranged in interdigitated side-by-side disposition and connected together by respective hinge wires threaded therethrough, and also a method for producing the same wherein either or both of the coils and hinge wires, being of a synthetic thermoplastic monofilament material, deform on subjecting the belt to heat treatment under tension so as to impart dimensional stability to the total structure.
