[AT] Old shop lathe motor-- motor questions for you "experts"

[Bustedtractor at aol.com]

The fact that your motor is listed as "repulsion induction" means that it was 
designed for loads with very high starting torque requirements. These motors 
are typically found on silo unloaders and manure handling systems. It would be 
unusual to see one installed on a lathe as the torque is not unusual. I 
worked in an electric motor shop in one of my previous lives (33 years ago).
