describe its function  in a sentence:
                            Component                            Function
                            1  armature             a)   transfers rotation from the motor;
                            2  bearing               b)   create an electromagnetic field;
                            3  brushes               с)  converts electromagnetic energy to rotation;
                            4  commutator        d)  reverses the current to the armature;
                            5  drive shaft           e)  support the drive shaft;
                            6  field windings     f)  supply current to the armature;

                            Step 4

                            Complete the text. Use the following words: are made up; is
                            placed; is composed; consists.

                            A transformer ... of two coils, a primary and a secondary. The coils
                            are wound on a former which is mounted on a core. The coils ...of
                            a number of loops of wire. The core ... of thin pieces of soft iron.
                            U- and T- shaped pieces are used.

                            Word study

                            Study  these expressions for describing how components are
                            connected to each other.

                            A is bolted to B. = A is connected to В with bolts.
                            A is welded to B. = A is connected to B by welding.
                            A is fixed to B. = no specific method given.

                            Step  5

                            Explain each of these methods of connection
                            1 screwed;                   6 nailed;
                            2 soldered;                  7 brazed;
                            3 attached;                  8 welded;
                            4 wired;                     9 riveted;
                            5 bonded;                    10 glued.
