Abstract :
Electrostatics made while I was doing that repair job on the Van de Graaff generator at the Research Laboratory. I am glad to be back down here on the test floor again where I work with motors and generators which I fully understand. However, I still have my inventive ability tuned to the stars, and I am working on nothing less than the problem of getting rid of the commutators on d-c machines. Needless to say if I get rid of the commutator, I´ll also get rid of the brushes and brush-rigging since I am not going to have the brushes ride on empty air, ha! ha! Also, needless to say that will be a wonderful advance in the art of d-c machines
