Horsepower as a convenient
measure of power was originated
by James Watt and Boulton IN the
eighteenth century to enable them
to express the power Of mine hoist
ing engines in terms familiar 60
those who used them. Their en-;
gines were used to replace horses
and they desired a unit of power
which would roughly approximate
that OF a horse, 50 that they might
compare the power Of one engine
that Of so many horses. They
secured this unit of measure by
testing number of heavy Eng
'ish draft horses. They found that
such horses could lift $40 pounds
100 feet in one minute, which, OF
course is equivalent to lifting 3d.
600 pounds one foot in one minute.
The horsepower that the aver
Iaage owners know about is the tax
able Fl. p. or the so-called N. A.
C. G. horsepower which Is derived
from solution Of the formula D. D
x N divided by IA in which d Is
the bore and N the number OF
cylinders. This formula gives the
approximate horsepower at 1000
feet per minute piston speed and is
not the highest output of the en-
CINE, because nearly every engine
today runs at more than 1000 feet
per minute piston speed. I shall
explain this more fully in another
article.
The Washington times., 1923-06-02

All duIOHlODllS ~ ODIlSSU u OpCA
ate under a wide variety Of con-
ditions from long, fast drives over
hard, level highways to toiling up
steep, soft and winding mountain
roads. Some cars accelerate won
derfully in traffic and are able 10
climb ordinary hills in high yet,
on the country on soft roads or on
long, level stretches may easily be
outdistanced by cars far less con-
spicuous on the boulevard.
It is the ''other things" which
tell the story. One of these is
gear-ratio, by which is meant the
relation between the speed Of the
engine and the road wheels. An
ordinary car may have a ratio OF
to /. This means that the en-
CINE crankshift must make four
revolutions to make the road
wheels revolve once. This is be-
cause the driven bevel has four
times as many teeth as the driving
pinion.
To understand the effect Of gear
ratio, it is necessary to have cor
rect conception of power. Power
is the ability to do work. Work Is
overcoming resistance through
space. For definiteness. both
power and work are expressed In a
unit OF measure, just as weight Is
expressed as so many pounds, liquid
measure as 30 many gallons, value
as so many dollars and so on. The
unit of work is the foot'pound. "A
foot.pound is the effort required TO
raise one pound vertically one foot.
The same amount Of energy would
be needed to raise two pounds SIX
inches or eight ounces two feet.
A child could lift a one-pound
weight one foot. But suppose he
were required to exert his foot

Suppose he were required to lift oOt
pounds 1-500th of a foot. 1t would
take a very strong man to perform
this feet by lifting directly on tn.
weight. However, Archimedes said
that given q long enough lever ht
could move the world.
The same child, given a lever
long enough. could lift the 500
pound weight with no more eff
fort than required to raise the one
pound weight. A lever the correct
length to accomplish this would
have to be 500 times as long back
of the fulcrum as before 1t, thus
multiplying the pressure put upon
it by the child 500 times and cut
ting down the distance which the
weight was raised by 1-500th.
