OPINION
The appellants' invention is an improvement to electrical
alternators of the type in which stator windings are positioned
in a housing having a plurality of ventilation windows and upon
which is mounted a rectifier assembly. The portion of the
housing in which the windows are located also serves as a heat
sink. In such an arrangement, it is customary to have the stator
lead wires pass through the ventilation windows to the rectifier
assembly. Specification, pages 1 and 2.
