Dear GP40-2, maybe you have established it, but wait one minute: If torque vs. rpm is Gaussian, wouldn't that mean that at 0 rpm's, you would have no torque? And if you have no torque when stopped, then how does a steam locomotive get things moving? Quite the contrary, a steamer's torque is at a maximum at speeds near 0, and only goes down from there. I admit that I may not have the benefit of college mechanical engineering classes, but I can still read a graph. Secondly, wikipedia is an open source document. That makes it MORE reliable--any malicious or ignorant falacies on the sight would soon be corrected by others either well-meaning or more knowledgeable. If you don't want to use wikipedia, then be my guest to pick some other reference. Without a reference, we could very easily end up arguing over two completely different subjects. Finally, why are we dealing with the largest of the large in terms of random numbers? You can model the Big Boy in Monte Carlo routines if you so desire. I personally prefer brass [:)]! And has anybody noticed that we are arguing about stuff completely different than what this topic started about [8D]? Sincerely, Daniel Parks
