This generator is powered by a National engine at the Anson Museum.

The generator which is French appears to be in good condition but the board wiring has suffered some corrosion, also its been changed around a bit somewhere in its life. The exciter is close couples to a 13kw ac generator with a reostat to control the exiter field current to control the generator field. The generator is single phase with 2 slip rings.

Can anyone help by identifying the maker from the plates in the pics? A diagram would be ideal but I realise this is a really long shot!
