Abstract
A V-block with a preselected shape defining a preselected included angle between a pair of V-block side portions is connected to a laminated spider of a rotor at preselected location between spaced apart adjacent poles of the rotor by disposing an elongated connecting piece in a slot longitudinally disposed in the spider and connecting the elongated connecting piece to the V-block by a fastener. Applying a preselected torque to the fastener establishes a predetermined force between the V-block and the conductive windings disposed about adjacent poles. The V-block arrangement is particularly suited for use in a dynamo-electric machine.
