By this peculiar construction of the armature, induced currents in the core are almostentirely prevented, and the loss of energy and consequent injurious heating of thecore, so common in other dynamo-electric machines, is entirely avoided. In order to still further increase the efficiency of the machine, the armature is con-structed to operate as a fan or blower to produce a rapid circulation of air from thecenter to the periphery, through the sectional core, thus cooling the conductors onthe armature, and keeping their resistance much lower than would be the case if thismethod of construction were not used. The coils are wound lengthwise of the arma-ture, and connected to the commutator at the end. The complete armature is shownin the cut below. By the peculiar winding of the coils on the armature, and
