I need a chain drive: a ~3 inch cog driving a ~6 inch cog, with 7 or 8

I got curious about using the silent Ramsey-style chain but cannot find
anywhere that retails the chains and the cogs.
Ramsey being a brand-name of the drive chain that looks like this-

That indeed looks hard to find. I just surfed Mcmastercarr nothing

It's not even the strongest there is. Looking at the car timing chain
sets, pretty much all the heavy-duty ones are precision double roller
chain.
The "silent" inverted-tooth belts are only recommended for OEM or mild
performance use, but they ARE the /quietest/, though.
