content: Nameplate reads: "V. 6 Amp. 1.5 / Type L, Perfection / J. Jones & Son / New York." A 6 volt, single phase, two-pole electric motor, series wound. A single electromagnet energizes two curved horizontal pole pieces. This machine has an unusual flat segmented commutator consisting of three sections fastened to the armature. The latter resembles a "squirrel cage" common to AC motors, but has curved iron sections on the periphery of the drum. Oil cups lubricate both ends of the armature shaft. Input voltage is applied to terminal posts on the base.
