Default Re: Vintage 1/4 horsepower induction motor

Thanks for those Phil, I will dig around when I have a chance. I have seen a lot of motors but never one like this. Perhaps I have not been looking carefully enough.

There might be a patent for the combined radial-action switch integrated with the pancake rings, which minimises the length and allows it to fit in a short end bell. That partially explains why the rings are so large, which is detrimental to brush life. Also seems to need a lot of weight to balance it.
