A ratio as largeas this one is unattainable in the arrangemenl id Fig. this ratio of field strength is determined by thelengths of air spaces between successive poles and theirvertical dimensions, which need not lie changed it themaximum possible is provided for, a reduction can hemade by reducing the reluctances in the different hori-zontal air gaps. This can be accomplished in the sim-plest manner by placing iron-bridging pieces, l> in Fig. 5,across two or all zones, their section and permeabilitydetermining the reduction in reluctance.
