[Spridgets] Dumb Question

[Glen Byrns]

I think the chain edges would actually ride on the rubber and be pushed 
slightly above the trough at the bottom of each tooth of the sprocket 
providing some tensioning and noise dampening.  Of course, after 30 years or 
so, the rubber has turned to ceramic and has NO effect whatsoever except to 
puzzle modern day owners.
