One of these armatures, with itscommutator and field, constitutes a plain shunt motorwhich takes its power from the generator mains, and HEATING AND LIGHTING CARS 189 whose sole function is to rotate the shaft. It is obviousthat this motor runs only when the generator is in opera-tion. The other armature has two windings and two commu-tators, and revolves in a field excited by the current flow-ing through the battery. This doublewound armature,with its two commutators and field, constitutes thebucker^ proper. The motor simply drives it. The.
