Leo, I was one who tried it on the Nova, it worked but was far too noisy so
I gave up on that idea. The bottom of the links hammer on the pulley ridges
and produce a sort of whine that is not very pleasant.

No need to imagine. It works fine. On reversible lathes, some people
worry
about the direction of the links. That doesn't seem to matter either. We
have even had postings that they were used successfully on Nova lathes,
where flat ribbed belts are called for, but that one makes me wonder a
little.
