Excerpt from The Design, Construction, and Operation of a Horse Power Meter as Applied to a Rear Wheel Dynamometer for Testing Automobiles: A Thesis This thesis is the third one to be pre - sented on the subject of a horse power meter, which is to be used for measuring the power delivered at the rear wheel of an automobile. The work of designing, and constructing a horse power meter was begun by senior members of the mechanical engineering department, class of 1914. They found the time at their disposal too limited for the completion of the work, and therefore concentrated their efforts towards the completion of a suitable rear wheel dynamometer, which was to be used in conjunction with the horse power meter.
