I looked at Jim's reaction arm video again.
I had remembered the figures wrong I was using 75
feet stopping distance without the reaction arms and 42
feet with, that's where I got 1 1/4 coach lengths in the TCFW post.
What Jim posted on the video is 75 foot stopping distance without
and 32 feet stopping distance with the reaction arms, citing a 43%
improvement. That is actually a 67% improvement, 32 feet being 43% of 75 feet.
Question Is the coach stopping from 45 MPH in 32 feet! that almost
sounds too good to be true. I am going to do some research, just like I have time.
Jim please give us some clarification, like stopping distances averaged over
several stops with and without the reaction arms.
Don't get me wrong I am a huge fan of the reaction arm system,
just looking for some clarification.
Thanks
Marsh Wilkes
