If both motors have the same number field-
20 poles, the torque motor for given number
of alternations will tend run double the
speed the other, for, assuming the connec
tions such give thebest results, its
poles are divided into two series and the
15 number poles virtually reduced one-half,
which being acted upon the same number
of alternations tend rotate the armature
at twice the speed. 382,27!), dated May 1888.
