I saw the same hot-wire principle used on a Bosch injector pump

details such as the full capacity of the row of graduated glass
tubes
that measured each cylinder's flow volume. A 10 HP variable speed DC
motor drove the pump being tested.


10 horse? That must have been some pump!


The motor was sized for low-speed torque.
