Again, increase the veverage to make 1 MP = 1 HP.

I meant for HP here to mean humn power. The amount of work done per unit of

would not equal that of a mule. With lighter weight components, refined

powered cart rolling on a hard track)
and efficient gearing a HP machine could do the same work as a MP one.
