From your description I think it's a similar type but different make to one I have, if it is it's a 'Repulsion Start / Induction Run' type, infinitely more info' on Google than I can give you.

PS. from the web a basic description.

The repulsion-start induction-run motor, starts as a repulsion motor and runs as an Induction motor. The advantage of this starting scheme provided greater starting torque than a split phase motor could provide. The repulsion start motor rotor is wound similar to a direct current armature.
