Abstract: 636. Zipplies, A. Jan. 18, 1908, [Convention date]. Commutator motor meters ; brakes. - To compensate for frictional errors in a meter in which the armature coils a are wound on the cylindrical surface of an aluminium braking-cylinder a' rotating between the poles p of a permanent magnet b, the armature is displaced axially in accordance w i t h the strength of the main current so as to vary the braking effect and also the effective length of the armature winding. The axial movement may be effected by a solenoid m acting on a soft-iron cylinder k, which is attached to the lower bearing d of the armature shaft c by a rod f ; a spring n opposes the pull of the solenoid m, and set-screws o and a nut i serve for adjustment. Alternatively, the axial movement may be effected by thermal means such as a hot wire. The armature winding a and the solenoid winding m are connected in parallel with a resistance in the main circuit. Core-sections q within the armature are connected to the pole-pieces p. The axial movement of the armature produces a self-cleaning action of the commutator, brushes, and pivots.
