A gilmer drive is a syncronous drive system using a cogged belt. They were developed by the R.H. Gilmer company and first available for sale in 1949. Timing belts are a type of gilmer belt.
Overview
Gilmer belts differ most importantly from V-belts in that they are synchronous. They do not slip as they turn, so are suitable from driving the camshaft. They are also stronger so can turn a supercharger. They are lighter but more expensive than V-belts. A serpentine belt is a less exepensive version but is not synchronous (will still slip slight during normal usage).
Aside from timing belts, Gilmer belts are most famously used for Supercharger belts. They are also somewhat commonly used on race engines for accessory drive (driving the water pump, etc).
