The article does not discuss cheating the meter or free energy, mainly
reducing the current by making the motor a 2 phase unit with a run cap
in series with the start winding.
I can scan it and make it available somehow if anyone would like a
copy.

Most induction-run motors without any capacitors depend on high
resistance in the start winding to develop the necessary phase shift
between the start and run windings to make the motor spin.

Those motors are bad candidates for conversion to a cap start/cap run
motor, as the start winding will overheat. The only motors that could
be so converted would be cap start motors, where addition of a run
capacitor would reduce line current and make the motor run a little
smoother.
