Such coils are wound on specially designedlathes, which are illustrated in an accompanying will be noted that these lathes are driven from a jack shaftbelow the floor and each is provided with two coil forms, oneon either end of its shaft. The speed of the shaft is con-trolled by a fcot-brake and a belt-tightening i)ulley. A rope iswound around one of the pulleys on the sliaft in such a mannerthat when the driving belt is loosened the shaft is not: per-mitted to creep. These machines are utilized for winding bothfield and armature coils. While it proljably takes more time.
