The sheet iron Is notch ana extends about half way through the cast iron backing or ring.

In very large generators several small slots take the place of q single larger one, and the winding spreads out Into successlvely larger areas. For instance, suppose there are six slots per hole; the winding would first be grouped around the toother be- tween slots numbered and 1, then con tinued in the same direction in slots 7 and 5, surrounding the first portion; third section would fill slots l and $; in the next set of slots the same order in reversed direction would be observed.

 Some historic forms of alternatiOns were referred to in the first paper, and further information on them can be learned from any encyclopaedia Modern commercial use of alternating currents dates from INC, when George Westinghouse. Jr.. pur- chased the Gaulard and Gibbs patents on methods of distributing electricity by means of transformers actuated by such currents. While the technicality of these patents was soon found to be imperative ana worthless, favorable conditions were al once devised whereby the system was made eminently successful. The patents e%phcltly limited the transformers to be- inS connected in series; the defects of this method will be explained in the next artlcle; Suffice it here to say that for the original service intended-lighting in canoescent lamps-the transformers must pc connected in multiple The generator IS tnen constant potential machine con nected to double wire distribution. iden- ucal with the case of direct currents.

 The usefulness of alternating currents Is due to the ability to generate high po- tentials and small currents at the station, transmit the energy, 1t may be for miles, then at the consumers house transform to low potential, suitable for the lamps, ana in volume sufficient to light any de- sired number. Since loss by resistence or line wires varies as the square of the current, an exchange from a 110-volt di- rect current dynamo to a 1,0O0-volt al- ternator would result in the ability to light lamps scattered over an area of several square miles instead of over a few blocks.
 The Westinghouse and Edison Com panies at once entered upon a merry war fare. the former representing the high potential ard small currents with ease ter adhering to direct low potentials and large volumes of currents, confined by reason of expense of conductors to areas close to the generating stations. Hideous dangers of high potentials were exposed on the one side, and commercial made quacy on the other. Now that the smoke has cleared away, and the valuable fea- lures and small risks due to alternating currents universally recognized. 1t seems odd to read of Edison companies their idols and combining the best fea- lures of both systems.

This principle applied to multipolar machines is of exceeding i'm the new station of the Chicago Edison 'double-current generators" is found in company; similar machines called TO- tary converters, are used for receiving instead of generating currents. and trans- form alternating into direct currents.
 With two-pole field magnet and sim gle arnature coil the rapidity of the alternations Is too slow for practical pur- poses. In such, one complete period con- sisting of two alternations, takes place during one revolution. Two thousand, four hundred revolutions per minute would be considered high speed for even small generator. yet that would pro- duce only forty periods, or eighty alter nations per second. A few years ago 125 to l40 periods, or cycles" per second were the standard; this rate works very successfully for operating incandescent lamps. but twenty-five to forty cycles is the most efficient for motors; sixty to eighty cycles is best for arc lamps In the attempt to strike mean and provide ability to meet all three requirements ably low speeds of revolving parts an agreement has been reached to regard sixty cycles as the standard rate or fire quency."
