Does anyone know what horsepower the Gies Model 1 gear was rated for?

I have one here and before putting it behind my 7hp, (probably more like 10hp) Gray Model T, I would like to know if it can handle that much.

Thanks in advance.

Here is a 1908 Gies ad that provides some guidance in that regard.
