    there is an electric motor/generator on the rollers and the gauge is probably just a volt gauge

    Scale horsepower maybe?

    What I want to know is how can a company in Mass be named Southern Engineering Products? I think of Mass as being up north.....:D:D:D

    I've noticed that when myself and my buddies are hanging out doing some bench racing, there's a lot of that "theoretical horsepower" being bantered about!:D;)

    After a few drinks it has been known to become a "theatrical horsepower" event.
