Assumed { RA = .0100 ohm
Approx. { RF = .0115 "
division. { RB{R. Bowen} = .0025 "

Resistance of one armature turn
= (.0100 x 4) / 37
= .00108 ohm.

Length of armature turn = 11" approx.

Resistance per 1000'
= (12000 / 11) x .00108
= 1.1777 ohms

Butohms per 1000' at 20°C
= .00815 ÷ cross sectional area (a)

Whence a = .00815 / 1.177
= .00692 sq. ins.
