Abstract: A two-pole off-set construction of an electric motor has winding portion laminations and rotor portion laminations which are separate so that the winding may be formed or placed on the winding portion and then the two portions of the stator interconnected to complete the flux path for the rotor circumscribed by a rotor aperture in the rotor portion. There must be a window space between these two portions to accommodate the winding on the winding portion and formerly the metal removed from this window space was scrap metal, necessitating an excessive amount of steel lamination material. In this invention, the layer of lamination is made in two complementary pieces and this layer has a rotor portion and a winding portion. The two separate lamination pieces for a layer of complete lamination are to permit the winding to be placed on this complete stator.
