Fig. 246. RICORDON'S RECIPROCATING MOTOR.
In the cut, B is an electro-magnet; A is an armature; E a pole piece.
The current enters by the springs, b b, and by commutation is supplied
and cut off alternately, thus maintaining a reciprocating movement of
the armature and rotation of the fly-wheel.
Synonym--Pulsating Motor.
Motor, Series.
A motor whose winding on the armature is in series with the winding on
the field. It is similar to a series dynamo. (See Dynamo, Series.)
Motor, Shunt.
A motor whose winding on the armature is in parallel with the winding on
the field magnets. It is similar to a shunt wound dynamo. (See Dynamo,
Shunt.)
