Okay Steve, tell us how you made the compensation windings. I suppose you 
just use the same size wire as the armature and connect them in series with 
the brushes? But how did you figure out the number of turns required, and 
what else was involved? I've gone through three old electric motor books 
and haven't found info on doing calculations for compensation windings. 
And, we are talking about interpoles here, right?
