Technical

WESTINGHOUSE CO. PRODUCED IT'S FIRST LINE OF DC MOTORS, THE TYPE MP, IN 1894. IN 1900, IT WAS STILL THE STANDARD MODEL IN PRODUCTION WITH A FEW IMPROVEMENTS, IE. LAMINATED POLES; ARMATURE WINDINGS SHAPED, INSULTED AND LAID IN OPEN SLOTS. IN 1905, A NEW TYPE "S" WAS PUT ON THE MARKET, IMITATING THE TYPE "C" INDUCTION MOTOR WITH THE BRACKET-TYPE BEARING SUPPORTS, MAKING IT LIGHTER. OTHER CHANGES LIKE INTERPOLES CREATED A NEW TYPE, "SA", IN 1908. IN 1911, THE "SV" TYPE WAS CREATED. THE CAST-FRAME WAS ABANDONED IN FAVOUR OF ROLLED-STEEL FRAMES. THE ARRANGEMENT OF BRUSH HOLDERS WAS ALSO CHANGED. (REF. 1)
