10-pole French "Froment" electric motor by.......?
« on: March 01, 2026, 03:42:01 pm »
I believe this is probably from the 1890s and definitely French, but know nothing else about it. Can anyone i.d.it? I suppose Radiguet and Pericaud are possibilities. Any why so many terminals? Lastly, what is the function of that vertical rod in the photo--runs with or without it making contact. Thanks for your help.

Could it be a Froment electric motor?
