Negotiations pendingfor remuneration. A SPECIAL COIL FORMER The American General Engineering Company, of NewYork, in filling an order for a South American electricrailway had occasion to design a rather novel factoryarmature coil former for a GE-58 motor. The armaturecoil of this motor, as shown alongside the opened former,has a peculiar bend, which cannot be obtained on coilformers of ordinary design. This bend is made on theform illustrated by means of a spring clip on one sideand a pressure clamp on the other. As each turn isbrought through to these side locks, the latter are openedand closed by a quick snap of the operators Coil Former for GE-58A Motor An important feature, which is applicable to other de-signs of armature coils, is the method of locking thehalves of the coil former. Usually the former is lockedon the belt side by two drag-fit pins, which do not preventthe loosening of the halves when the wires in the formerare being flattened with a hammer. In this design thehalves are locked with a central double-hook pin which islocked or released with half a turn from the outer sidethrough a central shaft and handle. The strain on the plateis taken by the dowel pins and not by the two screws. Theformer is constructed of steel bronze, with reinforcing ribs in the upper half.
