Ok, my new Idea has 260 Nm of torque. Anyone know how to figure out what that is in foot-pounds or pounds-feet? What about in pounds sterling? And meter-kilograms?

260 newton meter/hour = 191.7661656 foot pound-force/hour

Thanks, arc. I was wondering how that worked.

Just so you know, pounds sterling is the currency (money). Pounds as in Pounds and Ounces is the weight.

Actually, I knew that about the money as I lived in the UK 20 years ago. I just couldn't restist making a joke as the unit of currency was the same as a unit of measure. I bought a new Alfasud TI 105 from Benstead and Pidcock in Peterborough and put 90000 miles on it in three years. It was registered NYP 951 Y. My Idea is 199 951, so they shared part of their reg numbers.

Oh I see good one - I was wondering how to put it without sounding out of order

Nice registration numbers - design or coincidence?!

The reg numbers were pure chance in both cases.
