Armature rewinding
John Rudd:
So to update this, after several ( maybe should read many,many) rewinds I got it down but its not a complete success!
Turns out ( no pun intended...) that the shaft is bent...
I have learnt that there are different ways of terminating the coil ends...This is called Retrogressive or Progressive winding...
Then there is lead throw and coil throw...
Lead throw is how the coils are terminated, relative to the comm segments.
The coil throw is dependant on the number of armature coil slots and the number if brush pairs....
It is 'normal' practice to nite all this info prior to embarking on a rewind!
Fortunately I was lucky to find a mentor who was willing to tutor me.
So for now, the armature is sitting in the workshop awaiting further attention....( a get round to it job..)
