Subject: old motors w/ encoders

I have a number of 16v dc motors with encoders on one end. The
brand is Hathaway & dated 1983. Are these to old (induction motors)?
could they be servo motors w/encoders?
Hathaway still makes encoders but no info on these old motors. To
cheep to throw them away & still looking for a use for them.Anyone
used any old Hathaway motor to a good end?
Thanks Dennis

[I've got some Hathaway motors that sound similar, except mine are 24v. They
seem like servos to me. I tried Hathaway, but didn't have any luck tracking
down info on them either. Mine seem a bit small for running a micromill in
direct-drive mode, but I think they'd probably work with a timing belt and
pulleys to cut the speed and multiply the torque. I haven't actually hooked
them up to anything yet, though.]
