normal position by passing a pin 50 through the loop 48 at the opposite end of the band 46 the band is connected to an anchor assembly 52 by means of a pin 54 forming part of the assembly 52 the assembly 52 is essentially a cylindrical tube 60 having sufficient wall thickness to accommodate threads the pin 54 is much like the pin 50 and simply passes through the assembly 52 through the walls of the cylindrical tube the outer cone 40 is provided with a threaded aperture 56 into which the assembly 52 is fitted the assembly 52 is sufficiently small that it will fit between phase group openings of the top and bottom coils 14 16 of the generator end turn assembly since the band is precured it is stiff and inflexible and can therefore be used to extend the assembly 52 through the phase group openings and into the aperture 56 in the cone 40 the assembly 52 is threaded into the aperture 56 once firmly seated in place within aperture 56 the outer end of the band assembly is then tensioned and shimed tension to a desired level can be achieved with this structure in the same manner as previously described by using a hydraulic jack to pull tension on the band while inserting shims.
