How did the phrase horse power come about?
as you may know, horses used to be used. One horses power was described as 1 horse power, 2 is two horse power and so on, but as the world progeressed, so did technology and cars have lots of power.

To move that amount of mass the vehicles had massive power output - a very high value for horse power - but they moved at very low speeds.
