At the end of all tests, each with the Hyde and the Case apparatus,the inside of the machine was thoroughly washed out to avoid contam-ination of the oils utilised.

It consists of a sinjile aluminum casting comprising the agita-tion cell and a spitzkasten for the collection of the froth. Within theagitation cell are hung the shaft and impeller, the four blades of whichare set at 90°. The steel shaft is coated with lead and the impellerl)lades are created of an alloy to resist the corrosive action of acids.

d finish rings the core is compressed by these members rightup to the periphery of the core-plates, thereby preventing the spreadingof the plates, which would open up pockets for corrosion. (6) If the barspassed the edges of the core with a gap, ahead of linking with the short-circuit-rings, according to usual practice for an air-machine, the waterlosses which are inevitable would be significantly elevated. (c) A veryrobust construction is obtained and the exposed surfaces are lowered toa minimum. The bars are made of drawn copper, and are enamelled exactly where theypass by means of the core. Each end of a bar is drilled in the centre fora distance equal to the axial length of the end ring steel pins are driveninto the holes, thereby swelling the finish of the bars and generating positivecontact with the end rings. Just before assembly, the ends of the bars andthe holes in the rings are tinned, and right after assembly the entire of thejoints are sweated up. There is no danger of heating on account of the water coeling, so

For bigger units, even so,the bars are welded to the rings. The impeller is of the single-inlet type, cast in 1 piece, with bladeshaving the form of involutes at entrance and exit. The w^hole of the component paits for this motor-pump are shown inFig. 7. The motor-stator (1) is a totally-enclosed cast-iron frame, andthe core is assembled beneath pressure with stiff-ribbed finish-plates whichcompletely cover every single end of the core. The winding takes the standardform for three-phase, single-layer, star-connected variety, with a two-planeoverhang. The conductors are of circular cable, constructed up of a huge quantity offinely-stranded and tinned-copper wires, insulated with a specialpreparation of indiarubber. The lays of the strands are so arranged asto give a minimum diameter for a provided cross-sectional location, and to make attainable an easy and safe bend on
