any part of the winding on the actual armature. The advantages 

 claimed for this method of representing windings relate to its 

 simplicity, the readiness with which it may be drawn to scale, 

 and to the fact that the end drawings appear precisely as the 

 ends of the actual armature. We have further added, in Fig. 165, 

 the six poles of the machine in their correct positions relative to

one another, and have shaded these in two directions to represent 

 respectively the N poles and the S poles. As will be seen, this 

 diagram permits of the poles being drawn in a true position with 

 respect to the armature conductors, and the shaded areas may be 

 regarded as developed surfaces of the pole faces. 



The above points render this method of drawing advantageous 

 for those whose knowledge of armature windings is very elemen- 

 tary ; but to one accustomed to winding diagrams, the ordinary 

 diagrams, as in Figs. 162, 163, and 164, present the conditions
