[ 3 ] After 12 years of being asked where to find an original Snugli, Moore decided to create a new version called the Weego.
A motor capacitor [1] [2] is an electrical capacitor that alters the current to one or more windings of a single-phase alternating-current induction motor to create a rotating magnetic field. [ citation needed ] There are two common types of motor capacitors, start capacitor and run capacitor (including a dual run capacitor ).
Rotating synchronous condensers were introduced in 1930s [2] and were common in 1950s, but due to high costs were eventually displaced in new installations by the static var compensators (SVCs). [2] They remain an alternative (or a supplement) to capacitors for power-factor correction because of problems that have been experienced with ...

The name of this article would at first suggest a focus on models that are indeed called Dodge WC-numbers, either 4x4 or 6x6. However, the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps' central Standard Nomenclature List (SNL) Supply Catalog, covering the WC series, conveys both by its title, "SNL G-657 – Master Parts List, Dodge Trucks", as well as by the explicit types list on its second page, that (because of ...
