Discussion on “a new large generator for Niagara Falls”, application of fractional-pitch windings to alternating-current generators”, and “modern developments in single-phase generators.” Atlantic city, N. J., July 1, 19

Wm. J. Foster: There are two or three points in connection with the generator described by Mr. Behrend to which I would like to call attention. I think that in many respects it is a most remarkable machine. The efficiency as given by Mr. Behrend in the tabulation is something unusual, when we consider that it is a generator of 12,000 volts. I would like to point out how, in my opinion, the high efficiency has been attained.
