[ARC5] Dynamotor Capacitor

[J. Forster]

Au contraire! Your info tells me what I wanted to know.

If no Series field is given, there is no series field. It a Shunt, rather
than Compound machine.

Of cource. The field coil provides the H field for both the input and
output machines.

Everything I wanted. Thanks.

Correct.

It can also help stabilize the speed with increasing load.
