> You have two systems, "A" and "B". A drive pulley at "1", and a follower pulley at > "10". Your size ratio will follow the naming convention at 1:10 in both systems. > System "B" is identical to system "A" in all dimensions, with the exception that an > idler pulley was added at "2" and the belt routed around it. > > Please identify the effect the introduction of "2" has on the system, specifically > the effect on "10". You don't have to be specific.
