No that would be embarising I've seen planers push the job off the table when the job hasn't been bolted down .
Most planers I've had anything to do with work a bit like a shaper, I guess what's happening is it changing over to another pulley to bring the table back.

Not only that, but he's using the Reid engine as a full CHP unit! It's a nice setup too, I'd like to copy it (albeit on a smaller scale, I think) one day...

Here is another discussion on Leather belts
Here is a dealer of New Leather Belts They seem to have a good FAQ section.
John Swift:
some how I don't think I'd like to be any where near all those flapping belts
it reminds me of old pictures of the machine shop in the B.I.C.C factory that was near to where I live
all the machines originally driven off a line shaft were converted to electric
with there own motor driving via a short leather belt the original pully
I know of one war issue 1/2" B.S.A automatic capstan lathe still in use in 2001
the razzor sharp edge on the metal joints could do a lot of damage
