From machine tag:- Westinghouse type CS induction motor. 3 hp; 50 cycle; 3 phase; 400v; 480rpm full load; style 53C54; serial 4718701. Made by Westinghouse at their East Pittsburgh Works (USA).

Fitted to a "Preston Woodworking Co. Ltd (Canada) 30inch bandsaw, purchased new by New Zealand Government Railways in 1929, and installed in the Pattern Shop at the Hutt Railway Workshops (Wellington, New Zealand). When the Pattern Shop (and Foundry) were closed in the late 1980s it was moved to the Maintenace Shop (formerly the Coppersmiths Shop). Sold to me 15th September 2015 (along with the bandsaw). The Maintenance Shop is due for demolition starting 18th September 2015.
