Abstract: A lanced strip of generally thin ferromagnetic material adapted to be edgewise wound into a core for a dynamoelectric machine. The lanced strip has a continuous yoke section extending generally lengthwise thereof, and a plurality of teeth on the lanced strip have preselected pitch axes and extend generally laterally from the yoke section, respectively. A plurality of extensions on the lanced strip extend generally laterally from the yoke section on the pitch axes of the teeth and opposite thereto, respectively.A dynamoelectric machine, a core, a stationary assembly are also disclosed.
