Hi Both of you,
    YUP--math was NEVER my strong point--but I didn't think it was that bad
either. I guess that math skills must be the second thing to go!

PS, It was philosophy--NOT sociology!
PPS, If you figure the BTHP (and NOT the IHP--which is simply THEORY) then
14.35 becomes between 11.48 and 12.628 BTHP. (That's about 75% of what
Galloway claimed the engine could produce!)
