The magnetic Mux is continuous from one end of the truckto the other; that is, the fields are arranged in tandem, and theflux passes through all poles and armatures in series, returningpartly by the cast-steel side frames and partly by two barsplaced between the frames, but not over the iron core of thearmature. This design is entirely novel, and in order to takecare of any inequalities of air gap and wheel diameters of theseveral elements, cross transoms are provided, which connectthe side frames and act as equalizers for the individual makes each motor practically independent of the others,although in circuit with the main flux. The cross equalizing-circuits are able to take care of from 40 per cent to 50 per centof the main flux, but tests on the locomotive seem to indicatethat a very small proportion of the main flux is carried in theequalizers.
