He has instructed that in all cases of four pole machines a number of the form 4 m + 1 shall be adopted for the number of slots, and an equal slot pitchs this being very nearly equal to the polar pitch on the armature. As already stated, he instructed that the Goshawk I dynamo and motor as already instructed should be corrected to suit this rule. Mr. Royce asked for drawings and tables giving the particulars of the end connections of the various dynamos and motors of other peoples makes. We are preparing the necessary tables, but should be glad if Mr. Robinson would look up some drawings of armatures which Mr. Ormerod had made and let us have prints of these to forward to Mr. Royce. These include, we think, the Lucas, Smith, and C.A.V. armatures and perhaps others, but we are not quite certain of the exact machines of which schemes of the armatures were made. EFC. | ||
