strand-run

An open belt, whose wraps make one turn

Two pulleys of radius 40 and 24 mm with their centres 160 mm apart, with the strand running the same way round both. The two tangency points on each pulley are marked; the run between them is computed from the signed radius difference and nothing else. The wrap angles are 191.48° and 168.52°, and they add to exactly one turn — the turning number of a simple loop. Length 522.6633 mm, against the textbook formula's 522.6633. positioned by solving, not by drawing.
