That's where the lines cross for those units; but hp does not equal torque
as their units are different.  You could say two powers are equal, or two
torques are equal, or two areas. . . .

Yeah, I was having a strange time believing that 5252 was some sort of
universal constant, when everyone knows the answer to life, the universe and
everything is 42!!
