    Any generator of Type A or B will +require+ a regulator to operate. Otherwise, there’s nothing to control the current through the field coil.

    (ETA: Hey wait a second, that’s not a generator at all.. it’s a "balanced load" (aka cut-throat) DC charging system, with a simple single-phase alternator feeding a full-wave bridge rectifier. It does not use a regulator.)
