[SEL] Trailer Update

[Judge Tommy Turner]

And Tom he may have calculated correctly but due to age and possible
repairs over the years the specs on the clutch were not what they were
originally.  Springs lose tension, clutch pressure lessens and the plate
itself will glaze over and not provide the friction necessary to hold.
It may not be totally his miscalculation. (spoken by another with an
Engineering Degree...and a couple others too - some that do me no good!)

Sounds like he forgot to calculate "Engine and Transmission HP
and  torque".



I think he did a lot on that end, but maybe forgot to calculate friction

factor of the clutch plate.  Forgot to say he was an Engineer and one of

those that wanted to make sure you knew how smart he was.  He got a lot
of  
flack over that mistake in the office he worked in for Tennessee Valley

Authority.
