Test of an alternating current compensated series motor
An engineering thesis submitted at the University of Illinois in 1908 by Burton Floyd Tucker and Jesse Orrin Tucker, reporting laboratory tests on an alternating current compensated series motor for faculty examiners. Pages carry mounted photographs of a wound stator and armature clamped to a wooden test stand, hand-inked performance curves on green graph paper, and pen circuit diagrams with hand-lettered captions, useful for ruled grid backgrounds, plotted line work, and early electrical schematic symbols.
