When collector rings are mounted in such,

a position, that themagnetic Box in the core passesthrough' them, 1t;is advisable to provide'an 'openlng in the ring in which insulation may be inserted to prevent the induction of a short-circuited current in the ring and,

in regulation, where such. short -circuited cur-rents would be excessive, a pair of narrow brushes, which areconneetedby an inductive or other suitable resistance, may be advantageously employed to' engage the ring in which two opposite portions of the core are rotatably mounted. Fig. 2 is aJ'similar' '25 view, in; which spools or bobbins .a'rerotatably mounted on two opposite fixedportions' of the core. Fig. 3 is a diagrammatic view of the circuit connections of; the regulators disclosed in Figs'. l and 2, and Fig. 4 is a view, similar to Fig.2, of a regulator that is provided with independent ;fixed primaryand secondary windings in a ddition to the regulating winding ofmyinvention Referring to,Figs. l and 3, a magnetiqable core 1 comprises two fixed portions 2 and 3 and a plurality of rotatablymonnted portions 4, and 5 that are provided with shaft extensions (3 and? upon which slip- rings 8 and 9 and pinions 1 0 and 11 are mounted. The rotatable portions may be simultaneously driven by a gear-wheel 12 which engages the pinions and may be driven by any convenient means, such, for. examplefasfa hand-wheel 13." The slip- rings 8 and 9 ia i"e insulated from their respective shafts and are connected to opposite 'ends' of a flexible winding 14, which 'is coiledabout the rotatable core portions 4 and fiin'such a way that its turns may be distr buted between the'twoportions or maybe ntirely-wound on either p'ortion, their p sitionpad idjistribution being determined bfyfthe"slnmltaneous rotation of the-cores'uponflwlnch they'are mounted.-

VVhen-all'the turns of the winding are motive force induced therein is in the same direction 'as'that ofthe line 16-17, so that its value is added to that of the line. When the turns in the winding Hare evenly distributed between the two core portions i and 5, the electromotive forces induced in the two portions oppose each other, substantially neutralizing. their effect upon the line, and when the turns of'the windingv 14.- are all transferred to the portion 5, the 'electroinotive force induced therein is opposed to that of the line, plied'therefrom is less than the line voltage.

Any variation between these two values may be obtained by proper. distribution of the turns of-the winding let between the core portions tand 5.
