From T T curve I the quantity f- -= . = kf has been computed and plotted in curve II as a function of A. For large values of A,curve 11 approaches asymptotically the value 4.

When t is almost equal to T, that is, close to the limit ofcommutation. Since s at the disappearance of the current is a negative dtquantity, the differential equation must, therefore, be possible if fit. ARNOLD AND LA COUR: COMMUTATION. 833 The resistance r is determined by a series of factors of which r> fp the factor ~ •— outweighs all others. Neglecting the minor -K T— t factors, we obtain F^ T— r^^ ^ dt — ^ T— t This condition states that the of the stray induction ofthe additional current at the instant t = T must he less than thepotential difference generated by the additional current betweentJie brush points and the passing commutator segments.
