A power transmission in which a plurality of single groove sheaves are driven unidirectionally by a single, continuous belt having but one arc of contact with each sheave respectively. Each of the driven sheaves and an adjacent idler pulley are essentially coplanar thereby presenting a compact transmission requiring minimal operating space. The configuration of the belt is such that there is no more than one-quarter turn in any one stretch of the belt. Structure is provided to preclude contact of those stretches of the belt which cross one another.
