The interestwhich Is taken at this time in electric motors demands arather complete description, the information for which is fur-nished by the manufacturers. The form of the motor is shown in the illustration. It willbe noted that from a mechanical standpoint, this motor Is re-duced to the simplest possible elements, i. e., a stationary partpermanently connected to the main circuits, and a rotating 112 AMERICAN ENGINEER, CAR BUILDER Wheel fWatworth lonq turn T B. -54-. ■39-- ,\Z Exlaus to roof I 1^ fiin-J/i
