The large motor likely has to much for slip.

If you mean a CONE pulley on both sides - likely.
Then why not an AC drive.

If slip - why not a AC drive.

No need for DC motor if not electronic speed control.
Those were in use at that time.

AC motors are lower cost than DC.

I'd expect the latter since it is a DC motor with a speed control.
