the compound winding may be added. In using the compound winding for the first time, it is well to go at it rather cau-tiously, or, in other words, use a weak com-pound field, closely following up the observedworking of the shunt. The shunt fields ofmachines operating in parallel with storagecells are maintained somewhat constant by thecells, to a certain extent. Therefore, if acompound is to be worked in parallel, greatjudgment must be exercised to determine justhow much compounding should be allowed,and at which point in the load it is permittedto begin. A machine having its interpoles adjusted asa shunt generator may have to have them al-tered slightly when the compounding is cut in.There must be a certain fixed relation exist-ing among the shunt, compound and interpolewindings, and when once found, almost per-fect results will be obtained in operation.Otherwise seesawing of the load among thedifferent machines may result, often accom-panied by flashing, shorting or slopping over.
