PS vs. HP



Well,

Considering that Pferdest”rken, translated is: Horsepower I'd assume it to
be the same. I've always been told they are equavalents. Besides, why else
would a country based completely on the metric system have any reason to
use some weird term like Pferdestarken(Horsepower), except to show
equivalence to our outdated measurements?

Just my two pfennigs. :)
