English: Text from original illustration:
Figure 251: Illustrating the principle of an early Siemens drum winding.
In order to make the winding and connections clear, one coil and the commutator is shown assembled, although the latter is not put in place until after all the coil sections have been wound, with the ends of the wires being temporarily twisted together until all can be soldered to the commutator risers.
The cores of these early machines were made of wood, overspun circumferentially with iron wire before receiving the logitudinal copper windings.
