Horse-power is a, measure of energy. It was originally reckoned that a horso could, raise a weight of 33,000ib. one foot into the air in the space of one minute. This formula was applied to engines. An engine, that can lift 33,000 lb. one foot in one minute is said to develop one horse-power.
The word “target” TCally means a shield. Shields, which were originally made of bull hide, often ornamented with a metal boss in the centre, would bo used for spear-throwing and archery contests. The boss at a distance would resemble an eye, and so it became nicknamed the “bulls-cve.”
