Nice to see activity on this site!

Back in the 70's, I was an IBM Copier tech. The collator on the Series III copier used a VERY long plastic 'chain' of this very pitch. It snaked all over the gear train and as has been mentioned MANY times, these chains broke ALL the time. One 'fix' was to coat the chain with Moly grease, which was a standard IBM lube. It did NOTHING to reduce breakage, but was only succeeded in making one heck of a mess!
You could always tell the guys who had replaced one of these bloody chains, because his hands were still black days later. ha ha

Anyone who has worked with Moly knows the particles are so small, they are very, very difficult to get off.

Its simple. Its ballast to keep the ships right side up. The other reason
is they can say the ship is bigger 300K Tons :-)
