7 Reference Sheet No. 5 (January, 9) THE GREATER HUDN EIGHT Gear Ratios and Rules for Comparing Speed in Miles per Hour with Motor R. P. M. TO OBTAIN MOTOR R. P. M. FOR ANY DESIRED SPEED IN MILES PER HOUR Multiply the car speed in miles per hour by.6 and the rear axle ratio with which the car is equipped. Example What is the motor R. P. M. when a 8 equipped with.6 to rear axle ratio is traveling at a speed of 0 miles per hour. Answer 0 multiplied by.6 x.6 = 8 R. P. M. (Approximately). TO OBTAIN CAR SPEED IN MILES PER HOUR FOR A GIVEN MOTOR SPEED IN R. P. M. Divide the motor R. P. M. by.6 and the rear axle ratio with which car is equipped. Example What is the car speed of a 8 equipped with.6 to rear axle ratio when the motor is turning at 00 R. P. M. Answer 00 divided by (.6 x.6) =.7 Miles per Hour (approximately). TO OBTAIN THE NUMBER OF REVOLUTIONS OF THE MOTOR REQUIRED FOR O REVOLUTION OF THE REAR WHEEL Multiply the rear axle ratio by the ratio of the transmission in the gear desired. Example How many revolutions does the motor make for one revolution of the rear wheels with a car equipped with.6 to rear axle with the transmission in low gear. Answer. (low gear ratio) x.6 (rear axle ratio) =.9 revolutions of motor to one revolution of rear wheels. T he following tabulation shows the various motor to wheel ratios worked out as above for Greater Eight cars with.6 to rear axle ratio: Transmission Gear Trans.
