[Ford-ferguson] generators was:9n

[Chris Britton]

Adding power to the field of a A circuit gen won't do didly squat about 
speeding it up..  A-circuit gennies field's are internally hot, and need 
field ground.  B circuit gennies have an internally grounded field, and thus 
need field curent... Adding the bat line to the field on a b-circuit would 
indeed speed up the B circuit genny. ( if it is good and will motor ).
