Abstract
A linear induction motor, particularly for a vehicle traveling along an extended track, has an armature or reaction rail mounted on the track and a stator carried by the vehicle and juxtaposed with the rail. The rail is of a highly conductive material and is provided in lengths or sections which overlap by approximately a pole length of the stator. The overlapping ends form an induction gap for energy transfer between the rail sections.
