Abstract
Ductility of belt material is increased at least at one edge of an endless metal belt, thus reducing the likelihood of premature failure of the belt. The inner region of the belt maintains the inherent strength of the metal. The endless metal belt so formed is particularly useful as a driving member for a continuously-variable transmission.
