Abstract
In an electrical generator, a connector for connecting stator coil sections and the method of making that connection, each coil section ending in a header cap of a predetermined geometry, and the connector being provided with openings of complementary geometry and spaced and aligned so as to receive the header caps. A recording tool is used for recording the spacing and alignment of a pair of header caps to be connected, the recorder being used in conjunction with a drill rig for drilling the openings in accordance with the recorded spacing and alignment information. The solid connector bar is placed over the header caps which are received within the drilled openings, and the bar is clamped onto the header caps with nuts.
