The design of turbo field magnets for alternate-current generators with special reference to large units at high speeds

Abstract: This paper re-opens the controversy, between the salient pole type of field magnet and the cylindrical type. Reasons are given why the latter type is better suited for obtaining the greatest possible output from a given diameter. The methods adopted by various makers of supporting the windings are described, and the possible limits of output considered.
