Fig. 22 gives,at the top, two views of a quill, and at the bottom, twoviews of the quill in place upon the axle before the motor ismounted. In some installations, notably in the New YorkCentral locomotives, the motor armatures are mounted di-rectly on the driving axle, being rigidly connected thereto. 17. Motor Curves. — The characteristic curves of amotor include curves of speed, torque, and efficiency interms of the current flowing through the motor. Inst
