Note 3 — Chapter LI · ALTERNATING CURRENT MOTORS

NOTE.—"The word oscillating is becoming specialized in its application to those currents and fields whose oscillations are being damped out, as in electric 'oscillations.' But for this, we should have spoken of an oscillating field."—S. P. Thompson. The author believes the word oscillating, notwithstanding its other usage, best describes the single phase field, and should be here used.
