FOUR-POLE DYNAMO FOR "GOSHAWK". I.

Cold cutting in 10 m.p.h., i.e. 667 r.p.m. of dynamo.

We must have 12.4 volts at 667 r.p.m; if we allow 2.0 volts for field current in armature E must be 14.4.

Flux per pole at 67,500 lines per square inch

= 135,000 lines.

= (60 x 10^8 x b x E) / (Φ N P)

Z = (60 x 10^8 x 2 x 14.4) / (135,000 x 667 x 4) = 480
