A poly V belt can be used to drive a bare drum if the drum is IIRC
10x or more the driving pulley size without a problem. There is a
good Contitech design guide for their poly v belts and it mentions
it in there. They've been doing washing machines that way for
decades.

I've been using a poly v "serp" belt in place of the flat belt on
my Logan lathe for years . And did you mean dryers ? Most every
dryer I've ever worked on used a poly v to drive the drum .
Those too and I expect many other similar items out there. I didn't
think dryer as I've never owned one, I just hang my clothes on the
line in the garden or on the radiators in the winter when wet.

We line dry too . but also have a dryer for those times the weather won't
allow hanging out ... just a note - puppies and clotheslines aren't always
a happy mix .

You guys can HAVE your dogs. http://tinyurl.com/zrmbpjy and
http://tinyurl.com/zvyp7ds, just to start.

So curb yer mutt, fence off the drying lines, or hang 'em higher.
Better yet, nix the dog altogether.
