From these jack shafts the power is trans-mitted to the six driving axles by horizontal side connecting rods are inclined at the greatest possibleangle, the motors being placed close to the center of thelocomotive. Only one transformer is used. The motorsand other equipment are mounted to secure a high center ofgravity approaching that of the steam locomotive. The motors are started as repulsion machines. To insuretheir good commutation, twenty poles are used so that theflux per pole is reduced with a corresponding reduction inthe emf induced in the short-circuited coils of the arma-ture at starting. When starting, the brushes are short- former is of the air-cooled type and is designed to standfour times the normal operating voltage. Its secondaryhas se
