Two endless drive belts are located over corresponding pairs of roller spaced away from each other at opposing ends of the chassis frame. The endless belts each have a silicon-coated bearings face and a corresponding undulating wave spring secured to the chassis frame for urging the bearing faces of the drive belt against the surface of a display envelope while located in the presentation area.
