OT Electric motor from auction
Ok here is the story, I went to an auction and picked up some bargans. The
one that has gotten my interest was a lot of three motors that all work but
no one bid on so after the auctioneer shed some tears I offered $1.00 and
almost got knocked over he said sold so fast. All the motors are 1/4 hp but
one is huge. It was made by Century Electric of St Louis (I assume Mo) and
the nameplate says Frigidaire on it. Nameplate also has 1/4 hp 110/220 vac
1750 rpm 4 amp ( yeah no decimal just 4) and a patent date of 1918. Also
has frame and other stuff that I can't remember right now. Anybody know
anything about the manufacturer or if they have a museum that might be
interested in having this beast. I am afraid that this thing is so heavy
anything I put it on will tip over. Thank you for any information or ideas.
