This general set-up was used for all types of planned tests. Current shunts wereinserted where measurements were needed and low-range digital voltmeters were placed acrossthe current shunts. High range digital voltmeters measured voltages directly. High-current,pneumatically-operated switches were used for circuit changes. Rotational speeds were read bystrobe lights; temperatures were read by attaching the transducers directly to the field windings.Armature temperatures were determined by voltmeter-ammeter methods with the armaturesstationary. c.)
