Its exponential- small bump in speed can give amazing results :) when you find 
yourself a little short.
Yes, our driver WAS listed for the higher speed back in 1968....

Subject: Adjusting Pump Curves for Pump Speed

This is something I should know, but how are pump curves adjusted for pump 
speed?  I'm looking at a curve based on 3450 rpm (60 Hz) and want to adjust it 
for 2900 rpm (50 Hz).  Is this possible?
