This is true, also, in part, of the resistances E„ 12. Design of Direct-Current Machines to Obtain GoodCommutation. As the first condition for good commutation, we have foundthat the , which is inditced between the laminations lyingunder the brush tips, should be as small as possible. This induced by the armature field and the slot field. a). In order to keep this as small as possible it is neces-Bary to make the slot field and the armature field in the commu-. FiG. 37.

In orderto make the armature field small, the pole-tips and the arma-ture teeth ought to be so far saturated as may be made compatiblewitli expense of the copper on the field.
