I agree with Richard about the actions, jump from
the "HOT" terminal to the "Gen" terminal. This action will feed current to
the Field Coils and make the Screws that hold the coils and shoes in place to
become little Magnets. Interesting is the nomenclature saying "Polarizing
the regulator". The process actually is to Polarize the Generator by
making those steel screws holding the Field Coils and Shoes in place to have a
slight magnetic charge so that when the generator begins to function it will
energize the coils to produce voltage with the matching polarity of the
car. The shoes themselves will not retain any magnetism induced because
the shoes are made of Iron which has no Residual Magnetism
qualities.
Just an interesting tidbit of generally useless
information, given to point out one of the marvels of early engineering.

Hi to ALL,
What are the 2 terminals that
you have to short out when polarizing a 6 volt voltage regulator with a
positive ground system.
Thank you in advance.
