Default Ford Dynamometer

In 1949, according to LIFE magazine, FORD built a brand new Dynamometer building housing 14 "State of the Art" Dynometers.

They tested the Flathead 8ba engines sometimes for 90,000 mile endurance tests.

Look it up on the internet.

Why did they show consitently 100 hp dyno tests? In spite of more recent 80+- testing in recent publications? These were reported as FORD engineering tests.

I would like to know the engineering answer. (Others may also like to know)
