Question
Asked by: Brian Turner
Subject: Error on the maths page.
Question: The speed in Kilometers per hour is given as (((rpm * circumference) / 1000) * 360)
I believe it should be (((rpm * circumference) / 1000) * 60)
the 60 is to convert minutes to hours.

 You are correct. I've updated the page. Thankfully this value was not used anywhere on
the page so didn't not effect the other results. Versions of that page have been up for
years and know one contacted me about that bug.

Many thanks for spotting it.
