  • The most important of these results consisted in this, that the electromotive force produced in a "shunt-wound machine," as it was called, increased with the external resistance, whereby the great fluctuations formerly inseparable from electric arc lighting could be obviated, and thus, by the double means of exciting the electro-magnets, still greater uniformity of current was attainable.

  • The field of this machine is shunt-wound, and in order to maintain the potential constant a hand-regulated resistance -- R2 on the switch board -- is added in circuit with the shunt field.
