I'm guessing a 4" wheel, directly driven by the gearbox output, at full (normal) load CIM speed (4320 RPM according to the CIM data sheet) -- so ( 4320 / 5.74 / 60 ) * pi()/3 is about 13 ft/sec. Free speed would be faster, about 16 ft/sec.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
