 lso weakened. The dynamo is st constructed that if the first phase ha to be rewound, the second phase mus ne also. If the first phase is sound the second phase can be rewount without interfering with the first. Il was not deemed advisable to rewint the second phase, and then have to dc the work over again if the first phase tailed. Both phases will have to bt rewound.
