%   sprBfld.m - Program plots the normalized B-field wave
%               form for a SP synchronous machine and gives
%               the Fourier spectrum for assessment of
%               harmonic content. Total harmonic distortion
%               (THD) is displayed to screen.
%               The pole arc design is nonconcentric with 
%               rotor center.
