Attached is a page from the 'Electrical Review' of April 12th, giving a method of reducing sparking and wear of regulator contacts, which contacts, as is frequently the case, are shunted by a non-inductive resistance.

It would appear that this method would be equally applicable to external dynamo regulators of the vibrating contact type.
