D. C. COMMUTATING MACHINES 167 36. By the number of poles commutating machines are divided into bipolar and multipolar machines. Bipolar machines are mainly used in small sizes. By the construction of the armature, commutating machines are divided into smooth-core machines and iron-clad or "toothed" armature machines. In the smooth- core machine the armature winding is arranged on the surface of a laminated iron core. In the iron-clad machine the arma- ture winding is sunk into slots. The iron-clad type has the ad- vantage of greater mechanical strength, but the disadvantage of higher self-inductance in commutation, and thus requires high- resistance, carbon or graphite, commutator brushes. The iron- clad type has the advantage of lesser magnetic stray field, due FIG. 78. — Series machine. FIG. 79. — Compound machine. to the shorter gap between field

  • Field language: Read for whether field language is mechanical, geometrical, causal, descriptive, or simply a convenient engineering model.
  • Magnetism: Track flux, reluctance, permeability, magnetizing force, and loss language against modern magnetic-circuit terminology.
  • Field language: Field-pressure or field-gradient interpretations can be explored here only after the explicit source passage and modern engineering translation are kept distinct.
  • Magnetism: Centrifugal/divergent magnetic-field readings are interpretive overlays, not automatic historical claims.
  1. Open the full source text and the scan or raw PDF.
  2. Verify the chapter boundary and surrounding context.
  3. Promote exact quotations only after checking the source image.
  4. Move mathematical candidates into canonical equation pages only after formula typography is corrected.
  5. Move diagram candidates into the diagram archive only after image extraction, crop verification, and manifest creation.
  6. Keep Steinmetz wording, modern translation, and ether-field interpretation in separate labeled layers.
