Excerpt from Armature Construction IT is coming to be recognised that the design and manufacture of dynamo electric machinery is so extensive a subject that it cannot be sufficiently comprehensively handled in a single treatise. In the present work the subject has been approached from the constructional and practical standpoint rather than from the designing and calculating standpoint. Thus, the theoretical and designing elements have not been allowed to predominate, but only enter so far as to facilitate an intelligent appreciation of the various methods and points encountered in the construction. For instance, in the chapters dealing with windings, the subject is dealt with in the aspect of the practical possibilities of the windings, the electromagnetic properties not being considered to such an extent as they would be in a more general or more theoretical treatise.
