How is a steamer's power curve related to a Gaussian Curve? <br />1.) A Gaussian curve returns to 0 as the x-component increases, a steamer's does not <br />2.) A steam locomotive has nothing to do with probability nor with quantum physics <br />3.) A steam locomotive's power curve has no points of inflection <br />4.) I plotted feltonhill's data, and it looks nothing like the curves shown in the above link or a "classic Gaussian distribution curve." <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Daniel Parks
