Tim,
Power is the rate at which work is done. Work done at the rate of one HP
will lift 33,000 pounds in one minute, 550 pounds in one second, etc., and
remove about one cubic inch of steel in one minute. Expressions of power
are not tied to other time references.

Do you have any back issues of Live Steam? There was a pretty good article
on HP in the Jan/Feb edition of this year.

Material removal rate is CIM, cubic inches per minute, and it takes
about
one
HP to remove one CIM in steel.

Is that HP/sec., HP/min or what?
