This may be the original statement that Dave took exception to; I still
stand behind it:

"...Torque, discounting friction,
is the same in each moving member of any transmission link - this is true
because of the equation above. In a machine working at any given rate (HP),
torque is the same at each link in the machine from the output shaft through
the transmission and on to the wheels. RPM varies from link to link because
of diameter differences but torque is the same everywhere. Consider the
equation, above: Torque is directly related to HP and inversely related to
RPM...."

Bob's second statement

Guess you missed the math, Dave! Horsepower is passed through each
segment
of a transmission link - RPM varies, torque varies, but HP remains the
same,
discounting frictional losses.

That isn't what you first posted. Whether you meant to say "hp is the same
everywhere" I have no idea but the first statement was categorically
wrong.

I'm not at all sure why women like men. We're argumentative, childish,
unsociable and extremely unappealing naked. I'm quite grateful they do
though.
