Re: Outboard horsepower measured?

[foot_doctor]

My Dad, Larry Thomas was hired by Denny Watkins, the director of OMC Research in Milwaukee to build their first large engine dyno. The project took him about two years on their premises. When it was completed, they hired him to be their facilities manager. The dyno he built used existing electric power company lines as the load bank. It simply generated 60 cycle current that was fed back into the electric company’s grid. As far as I know all of the tests run on that dyno measured crankshaft horsepower, not propshaft. R.T.
