Several years ago Philip Ethier posted a set of spread instructions to
the british-cars list that allows you to calculate engine RPM based on
transmission gearing, rear end gearing, wheel diameter/width, tire size
and speed. It's really just a set of formulas which can be used to do
the same calculation using a calculator. I tried it out for my snake
and it seems to come out about right on.
I have a copy if anyone is interested. It might even be available on
the SOL archives.
