[Land-speed] A Protocol Question...

[Dave Dahlgren]

It was a bit of an analogy.. Take a fan belt and put a mark on it. Then put it
on a bench on edge like it is a tire and put a mark on the bench that lines up
with the one on the belt.roll it one revolution and mark out how far it goes.
A typical roll out test like you use with a tire to check the circumference.
Now change the foot print that is contacting the bench and do another roll out
test.. Try to make the distance traveled in one revolution change..PS hope you
have a lot of time if you think it will change..
