SEQUENCE STARTER MOTOR K. {Mr Kilner}

Motor cold, current on teazer 20 amperes.
Volts across teazer = 7.65 1/2
" " main = .12
" " armature = 1.03
Total. 8.80

on 12 volts with the motor stalled the current was 29.5 amperes.

Motor warm after 5 mins. run on the teazer at 12 volts -
Current = 21.5 amperes.
Motor speed = 285 r.p.m.
With the armature stalled the current was 24.5 amperes.
