Just a note here so I'm not answering (or trying to answer) David's question.
When I took high school automotives back in the early 60's, we learned about both generators and the newer alternators (which I think Chrysler might have been the first major North American auto manufacturer to use them).

Nowadays of course, we use the terms separately depending on what parts are fixed in place and which parts are spinning I believe.
Sort of like the terms rectangle and square. While we all have our own definition of each one, a square is actually a specific type of rectangle by definition.
