MEANING OF "H0RSE POWER"
Simple Manner by Which the Now Fa.
miliar Term Was First Brought
Into Use.

The use Of the horsepower" as a
measure Of an engines work came
naturally from the fact that the first
engines were built 10 do work which
had formerly been performed by
horses John Smeaton. who built at.
mospheric engines before Bolton and
Watt placed their more complete ma.
chine on the market, had valued the
work done by strong horse as equal
to lifting a weight Of $4,000 pounds
one foot high minute. When Bolton
and Watt began to bid for pubic ia.
vor, they agreed to place their en-.
gines for the value of one-third part
of the Goals which are saved in its
use" They also increased the value
OF the horsepower to $4,000 foot
pounds, SO that their engines we're
half again as powerful for their rated
power as those OF their competitors
In this way they established the value
of the horsepower The following are
the various values OF a horsepower:
Thirty-three thousand foot.pounds q
minute. $50 foot,pounds a second, O..
565 thermal units an hour. 4275 ther.
NAL units minute The horse power
OF boiler depends on Its capacity for
evaporation The evaporation of 30
pounds Of water from 100 degrees
Fahrenheit into steam at seven pounds
gauge pressure equals 341s pounds.
and at 2l2 degrees Fahrenheit is equiv.
alent to a horsepower.
