Discussion on group III papers — “methods of testing apparatus for performance”. New York, February 28, 1913. (see proceedings for February, 1913)

(a) Generators and Induction Motors A. E. Averrett: I would say in regard to the results in the Collins and Holcombe paper, that I made some tests at the same time, and the results obtained with the first two motors (two 20-h.p. motors) are somewhat erratic; one of the motors was somewhat unusual, in that the rotor had a completely closed slot. We ran these tests through in a hurry and I believe the results ought to be discounted.
