Abstract
Disclosed is a dynamoelectric machine with a tubular shaped stator assembly having a generally cylindroid rotor assembly mounted therein. There is a clearance between the outer circumference of the rotor and the inner circumference of the stator for the passage of cooling gas. On one end of the stator assembly there is mounted a dual position air gap baffle assembly. In one position the baffle assembly will regulate the flow of cooling gas in the clearance space between the dynamoelectric machine's stator and rotor; and in the other position, there is a keystone shaped opening which will make the rotor assembly accessible.
