Bishop Rotary-Polarity ?

Today i get my Bishops,yeeeeeeesssssssss !
Just wondering there is no marking +/- for the polarity,or it doesen,t matter !
The most rotarys i know have the + up,exept Dragonflys and neotat.
Please let me know how you run your bishop !
Thanx

He's asking which connection is the + and which is the -.

Hmmm so the Bishop is unidirectional???

Still, unclear. + and - as In Binding posts, Or?? I know i sound an idiot but i really just don´t get it...
I know that in coils it´s not an issue witch way you but the chord (If this is the case.) Is it with the rotarys?

Like on a car battery you have black is negative (-) and red is positive (+). If you dont have red and black remember black is always negative.

+ or - the black or the red on your clipcord. This will dictate if your motor will run clockwise or counter clockwise. Depending on the machine's drive system and the motor its self will dictate which direction it should go. Some motors will come with the polarity marked on them usually with a very tiny red dot on one of the power connections.

The Bishop has a built in diode which is a two-terminal electronic component that conducts electric current in only one direction. thus when you plug in your clipcord, it only functions one way.

A bit of circuit protection, nice.
