The drawings are somewhat peculiar and need a littleexplanation. Two views of each winding are shown andfor simplicitys sake the number of conductors on the sur-face of the armature is much less than it would be wise touse in practice. The first view of the winding is a view end on from thecommutator. The wires on the commutator end are shown. in full lines, while the wires on the rear head are showndotted. The driving conductors on the cylindrical surfaceparallel to the shaft being seen end on, are shown merelyas small circles on the core periphery. The second view is really more valuable than the is the developed surface of the armature laid out , if you please, that the surface ot the armature,wire and all, was stripped off as the bark from a birch tree,and laid out flat for inspection. (To be continued.) The sharp fight which has for months been in progressbetween the Detroit Railway Company and the Detroit Citi-zens Street Railway Company has resulted in an applica-tion for the appointment of a receiver for the latter com-pany. The suit is brought by Albert Pack, one of the lead-ing spirits of the Detroit Railway Company. He is theowner of $25,000 worth of stock in the Citizens Company,and by virtue of that fact he began the action. Accordingto Tom L. Johnson, the presi
