WHAT is BRAKE HORSEPOWER.

q. a. y. writes: The engine of a
car which l am interested In is stated
to produce AZ brake horsepower"
Exactly what does this mean? I had
supposed that a horsepower was a
perfectly definite thing. What other
F;Hds of horsepower are there?
Answer: You are correct in un-
derstanding that a horsepower is a
r. .,ctly definite thing. 1t means
tho delivery Of $4,000 foot pounds OF
power per minute. It would have
been clearer had the statement been
made that this engine was capable of
producing a. horsepower as meas
ured by the brake, which is simply
a device for this purpose. What is
meant is that at the fywheel of this
'~e ~ horsepower is available.
The term brake horsepower is used

and in distinction to such terms as

fors to,the horsepower developed at
