HORSE-POWER TRANSMITTED BY COLD ROLLED SHAFTING. SECOND MOVERS OR LINE SHAFTS WITH BEARINGS 8 FEET APART.
The above table is figured by the following rule: Multiply the cube of the diameter of the shaft by the revolutions per minute and divide by 50.
The table on the opposite page applies to Line Shafts with bearings 8 feet apart. To find the proper diameter for Line Shafts with bearings any other distance apart, multiply the diameter given in the table on the opposite page by the Constant Number corresponding to the distance between bearings in the table below.
