DYNAMO-ELECTEIC AND MAGNETO-ELECTRIC MACHINES. 481 The number or size of both inductors and armatures depends upon the special purpose for whichthey are employed; the Induction being produced in this case from both sides of each armature, itis lermed two-sided induction. ,«.«. x. t- j v, ats ^cu-t.^-,^ To illustrate the principle of Grammes machine, Fig. 1046 is of a magnetized bar, A B Whena conducting helix, in reciprocal movement, is brought towards the bar from its position at X, an m-. t duced current is produced. The current is in the same dii-ection while the helix passes the middleM of the bar A B, until it leaves the opposite pole B. -,. ^ . j f i In the entii-e course of the helix on to and from the magnet, two distinct periods are to oedistino-uished • in the first half of the movement the current is direct, and in the second it isinverted If instead of moving from left to right, the movement is from right to left, everything
