    Well enough put, however the mindless addition of the word "brake" is, I feel, a misguided attempt to enhance the descriptiveness of a term heretofore easily understood.

    All in order to recognize such things are measured with a dynamometer?

    It&#39;s called brake horsepower because it is actually measured on a brake dynamometer.

    I think I knew that you knew that, but i wasn&#39;t sure if you thought you knew that other people didn&#39;t know that, know what I mean?

    I know you believe you understand what you think I said but... I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

    As re: the last two posts:

    Indeed&#33;

    Happy to see the two of you so willing to lend to the normally abnormally high level of obfuscation and vagueness which bedevils our mother tongue.

    Could it be that as well as standing to lose several lawyers, solicitors, and barristers we could stand a drastic increase in our population of technical types?

    I think so.

    No I don&#39;t.

    How do I know?

    Of course I know&#33;

    Honest.

    I&#39;ll tell you, quite honestly, that I would be proud of you for getting a ticket thus.

    As an aside, the last Hemi (a beautiful orange &#39;70 Charger) I saw being thrashed on the street was owned by someone other than it&#39;s driver; this guy and his roomie (who did own it) were stationed at K.I. Sawyer Airbase, and the car&#39;s owner was on whatever duty they called that long, non-stop B-52 run-up to Alaska, over to Japan, and wherever-the-hell else; the other guy decided to "borrow" the car while he was gone.

    We cheered his antics until he slid that gorgeous car upside-down past a crowd of us on the main drag.

    We retrieved him uninjured from the wreckage, but his fly-buddy was not amused; we heard later he beat the guy within an inch of his life&#33;

    Ah, the memories&#33;

    Yes, Protak-

    My fingers (and however many toes I can manage) will be crossed for you; GOOD LUCK&#33;&#33;
