Electric Motors

About 1890, with a rapid acceptance of electricity as a motive force in industry occuring, Sturtevant established an Electrical Department.

A full line of DC motors was developed ranging from fractional horsepower to large generators of about 600kw capacity. To this was added AC motors sometime after WW1.

The entire line ended in 1945.
