currents resulting from the lateral reaction of the poles A and 

 i; on the neighbouring poles. 



In order to increase the inductive effects, De Meritens 

 forms the core A B and its adjuncts A and B of thin plates of 

 iron, cut by the punching machine, as shown on the figure? 

 and bound together in a bundle to the number of fifty, each 

 having a thickness of i millimetre. The wires of the coils 

 are, moreover, connected in such a manner that the induced

currents may be joined for tension, for quantity, or in a series, 

 according to the conditions of their application. 



We have in the theoretical figure supposed that only four 

 sections are given, but in reali f y there are a greater number, 

 and in the form of the machine referred to (shown in Fig. 25) 

 sixteen may be observed. These are niDunted on a bronze 

 wheel turning on the axle of the motor. 



Round about this wheel are planted the inducing magnets, 

 firmly fixed on two bronze frameworks, in which they are 

 placed horizontally. Fig. 26 shows the manner in which the 

 several elements are mounted.
