Zusammenfassung:A molding apparatus and method for making an endless belt construction in an inverted position and having a precisely preloaded load-carrying section are provided. The apparatus employs a mold core defined by a plurality of movable L-shaped segments and means for applying radial forces against the segments in a plurality of spaced parallel planes perpendicular to a central axis therethrough to thereby move the segments radially outwardly and precisely position and hold such segments at a tension-applying location where their outer surfaces define a right circular cylindrical surface and the desired preloading on the load-carrying section.
