The generators are in every respectin accordance with the contractors standardpractice, the magnet frames being of cast ironandthe pole pieces of laminated steel and castinto the magnet frame. The commutation is -sparkless at allloads and the field windings are so arranged to give a 10 percent rise in the E. M. F. from no load to full load.
