Neither more or less. The Ford ■ ready for passengers has a load of 75 pounds on each H.P. The lightest load we have been able to find on other motors, as we have shown, is 90 pounds per H P. Now let’s try FORD loaded with 750 pounds of passengers with the lightest loaded motor we have been able to find. The Ford 1500 pounds plus 750 pounds passengers make 2250 pounds load. 2250 pounds load divided by 2) gives a load of 112 pounds on each H.P, Ford 2500 pounds plus 750 pounds passengers gives 3250 pounds load. 1 3250 pounds load divided by 27 H.P. gives load of 120 pounds on each and every II.P. Remember this is the lightest loac’ that we have been able to direct your attention to. Some motors we have found carry 200 pounds for each individual H.P. as soon as 750 pounds of passengers stoe into it. Now 8 pounds per H.P. isn’t much but when you have about all that you are able to tussel on high 8 pounds more per H.P, means a lower gear.
