close. It is more like 0.5% or so. It does take up slack
over time. I think it has to do with the stretch of the
belt. There is more tention on one spool than the other,
making one side move a little faster than the other.
The one spool getting the more stretched belt would tend
to move a little faster than the side without stretch on
it since it would see more effective belt movement.
I would think that the faster spindle has a smaller diameter than the
slower one.
