From: Joe & Lynne Lance, Subject: Re: Gear Ratio Formula?
(Snip...)so the tangential velocity of the circumference at the top of
the tire is higher than the tire surface tangential velocity at the
contact patch--interesting.
Lance: Not-to-worry until the velocity is about 1,120 ft/sec (speed of
sound). Thanks, Lance. I enjoyed the discussion. :-)
List: I get the list in digest format and did not see my original
response posted today. So I broke it into two parts for smaller size.
My apologies to all for the redundancy. -Elon
