I did. My first response in this line of conversation had it, talking
about electric motors:
"though they tend to have very flat torque curves, torque only equals
horsepower when multiplied by the RPM and divided by 5252 (if you're in
hp and ft-lbs)."
There's a pretty massive thread over on TDIClub archives about this
exact same thing.
