If it works, I be interested in purchase. I'm planning on mounting a
Jacobs chuck on the shaft. Shaft size?

They say a pic worth a thousand words.
Next time, post the pic first.
It's a 1/25 hp Universal Motor.

A dentist or a jeweller, would know one of those as a polishing lathe.
The chrome thing, could have been a mount for a shield. Or a light. Or
it has nothing to do with either, and instead, was part of the maybe
original use of the motor.
Goodal-Pratt made a wide variety of tools and measuring equipment. No
telling if these two parts (the motor and arbor) started off together,
but they are together now, eh?
Cheers

no, whatever it is, it is NOT a tool post grinder - it sits on a pedestal
type base that houses the rheostat, the base has rubber feet, there is no
means to mount to a tool post - whatever it originally was, it sat on a
bench when doing its job. I thought there might be someone who had a
"history of dumore stuff" type web site they had found that would help -
I'll try to get a photo into the drop box in the next day or two unless
someone can recognize what "type KB" might mean
