I've been offered a free electric motor, "brooks" brand, apparently made
in England.


According to the tag, it was made in Over There by a company from
Chicago, Illinoisy. It's good for 60Hz, though.



Mr Ernest Brook Started producing motors in Huddersfield, Yorkshire in 1904. I
guess you chaps were still getting electricity by flying kites in thunder
storms then. BEG
