Vilém Klíma (Wilhelm Kauders) died on 6 October 1985 and in an obituary by Frohne[1] it is mentioned that Klíma's equation for the distribution factor[nb 1] of fractional slot windings is not found in textbooks. Another remark in the obituary is that in some references it is stated that it is not possible to find a closed-form expression for the winding factor of fractional slot windings.
An obituary in German was written by Frohne[1] and one in Czech by Čeřovský.[2] He was the father of Czech novelist and playwright Ivan Klíma.
