Default v belt sizes

The other day I received a letter from my cousin telling me of his experiences
replacing a drivebelt on a rooftop air conditioner on his church. The old belt
was marked A-40 so to be on the safe side he bought a A-40-1/2. It was way too
tight so he got an A-41. Still too tight so he had to move the motor.
I remember having similar belt problems years ago but I'm wondering why belt
manufacturers havn't been able to standardize their length measuring system?
