It was found in practice, however, thatthis latter disposition was not necessary on the Metropoli-tan cars, and in the actual controllers this refinement wasomitted. I1 and P are the armatures, and J1 and J2 are the fieldsof the motors. M1 and M2 are the reversing switches forreversing the direction of rotation. SA1, SR1, SA2 and SR2 two motors I1 and J1 are then so connected that the move-ment of controller switch P1 can put them either in seriesor in parallel. Fig. 10 is a car wiring diagram of the system.
