Allowing 11 volts supply, the operating teazer
current would be

11
---- = 17.1 amperes.
.643

The conditions of correct operation as regards
this first circuit will therefore be:

(a) With a current of 14 amperes through the
teazer main and armature windings of the motor
in series, the motor armature must be certain of
turning and travelling longitudinally to the full
extent. The armature must of itself recede to
the full extent when the current is off.

(b) 25 amperes of current must be capable of
passing through the top contacts of the auxiliary
switch and the contacts of the push button switch
with no unsatisfactory result.

Circuit 2. MAIN SWITCH. (Yellow)

The pinion engaging longitudinal armature motion
operates, near the end of its run, a switch on the motor
which completes the final connection to earth of circuit 2.
This circuit, consisting of the main switch coil with its
non-inductive resistance in parallel, is also supplied through
the push button switch. The supply voltage may be considered
to be 10½.

The estimated resistances at 45°C are as follows:

Main switch coil ........ .89 ohms.
Parallel non-inductive
resistance ..... 15.9 "
Compounded resistance.... .843 "
