} Given on plate.

Observations running light :-

Normal speed on 114 volts

= 1640

Speed reduced by armature series resistance
supplied

= 1570

Speed increased by field series resistance
supplied

= 2850

Resistance of armature circuit at 20° C

= .5 ohm.

Resistance of field circuit at 20°C

= 64 ohms.

Resistance of armature series rheostat

= 2.2 ohms.

Resistance of field series rheostat

= 250 ohms.
