Abstract
A considerable number of failures of d-c aircraft generators are caused either directly or indirectly by unsuccessful commutation. Difficulties encountered are related either to electromagnetic design features of the machine or to mechanical or chemical-physical phenomena in connection with the commutator, brush holders, and brush material. In the following, some of these features bearing upon the quality of commutation will be analyzed.
