“The application of electric motors are numerous and varied and the types in use today range between large and small, simple and complicated.  Even with the most efficient maintenance, all these have to be repaired sooner or later.
This book has been written to show in a practical way how rewinding is carried out and it will be of help to fitters, engineers, apprentices, students and all who have access to a workshop with the necessary equipment.  The text, which is illustrated with over 100 drawing and photographs, has been simply written but nevertheless includes much valuable information.
The various types of motors covered include split phase, capacitator-start, repulsion, repulsion-induction, repulsion-start, shaded-pole, three-phase induction, universal and d.c. Although the rewinding of motors is specifically dealt with, the technique of rewinding is, of course, applicable to the stators, rotors and armatures of a.c. and d.c. generators.”
