OOOOPPPS sorry Dave! My statement should have been that HP is constant
from
link to link in a transmission network. It follows that torque by the
equation: Torque = (HP x 5252)/RPM does in fact vary inversely with RPM.

Erratum: Please see following correction notice sent to "Live Steam"

One of the readers of the news group, rec.crafts.metalworking, has pointed
out a misleading statement made in my article. Page 19, next to last par:
"Wheel edge (pulling force) is everywhere the same in a transmission link."
While fundamentally true, this statement could be misleading. It should,
more accurately state: "Wheel edge power (horsepower) is everywhere the
same in a transmission link".

Sincerely,

Bob Swinney
