G:  This is the smallest in terms of space requirements.  Slippage can be adjusted by moving the rotors further from the turntables (North-South on diagram) or moving the belts to the opposite side of the rotors.  Assymetry of coupling can be adjusted by moving the rotors closer to either turntable (East-West on diagram).  The belt contact area is relatively large.
Yes, Adrian, the “G” configuration looks very nice but what you I need another tension roll? I presume tat if I position the more clear and further for one of the platters than I would be able to offset the differences of mass. I will start those experiments is a week and it would be fun to see hoe it all works. Still, the “G” configuration is an improved version of “D” configuration. It is OK in respect the belt-platter contact but it is not partially comfortable from the perspective of tonearms real estate. The tonearm that located on the left of the left platter (on place of the motor in the “D” configuration) of is never useful as when you lover the needle of this tonearm you can not see the grooves. In your “G” configuration the motor take place of one or two back tonearms that are very comfortable to use.  One of the objectives for this project is that I have a functional need to put more tonearm/cartridges into a simultaneous use.
