What Horse Power Means and the Origin of the Measure
The article explains horsepower as the average work a man can do in a minute versus a horse. It cites Watt and brewery horses, noting one horse lifts 330 pounds to 100 feet in a minute, about 83 000 pound-feet per minute, but not continuously. It compares a strong man’s output, eight hours a day, to one tenth of a horsepower, and concludes horses multiplied human labor tenfold, per St. Nicholas.
