RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] New Book Needed

Hello:
I have seen a book called "Electric Motors" by V.J.Cox, number 16 of the
Workshop Practice Series, published by Argus Books in the U.K. It deals with
salvaging motors and putting them to work running small machine tools. I
don't own it, but I have had it out from the local library.

Best regards
Wayne Bengtsson

I am looking for a book that probably hasn't been written yet.

"The scroungers guide to electric motors"

This book would contain information on all types of motors, how to
identify them by number of wires, coil resistances, frame sizes, etc.
Identifying motors WITHOUT any manufacturers info, nameplates or
anything else.
It would also include info on how to put them back in service
without producing clouds of smoke. What will and won't work, etc. etc.
Can this be done? Does such a book exist? I will pay!!
