Horse power Is a unit for the measurement of the rate at which a machine works. It is equal to 33,000 foot-pounds per minute, a foot-pound being the energy required to raise a weight of one pound against gravity to the height of one foot. The real power of a horse is about three-quarters of a horse power.
