Default Double pulley on generator mounted fan

I have an old generator mounted fan with wide belts that has a double pulley. What would this be used for?
I will post a picture later.
Thanks

I believe that generator was used on '37 -'41 big trucks.

They are highly sought after for flathead supercharger applications. Here is an example of a dual pulley truck unit put to work along with truck dual pulley water pumps in passenger car.
