The new layout has narrower aisles, allowing more product shelving which means more money in. I suspect that heavily outweighs any considerations of inconveniently placed columns. However, it does illustrate my point about layouts having to change to suit changing needs.

I would be extremely surprised if the rolling road didn't compensate for measured mass.

No reason it couldn't be electric. Some forklifts are electric aren't they?

The 0-60 times that motoring magazine journalists wet themselves over, and look good in adverts for some cars. They're normally obtained by using an independent speed measuring device and giving the car loads of welly on a dry, high grip, test track. If nothing breaks, the driver keeps pushing until *something* gives up the ghost or it flies off the test track. Which is why a lot of makers don't like lending cars to some magazines and TV shows.

The dynamometer is set to simulate the maker's given mass for the production vehicle, according to the link supplied ^ up there somewhere. All else is set to the maker's recommended figures, and I'd not expect a few kilos to make much difference to the tyres' rolling resistance. I'm not sure if they use a fan to generate a simulated headwind, though, in which case removing number plates etc. *can* make a noticeable difference.

Yes. Do they have to be that high?

I would think so. Do a comparison wth say schools and hospitals and try to find your way around the latter.

They only have to be above head height. Think of a supermarket's isle signage, and imagine the shelving wasn't there.

You're not following the design plan: Big is better.
