That's the first time I've ever seen mention of 2 different sizes of horsepower 
(746 &736 watts) but when I checked my handbook, I find 5 different 
"horsepowers." Two of them are completely different, but the other 3 are 
735.499, 745.700, and 746.000 watts.

I had no idea it could be this screwed up....
