    I knew I had another one of these old generators someplace -- found it again today. This one is a little smaller than the other in both physical size and output amperage, rated for ~10 VDC at 15 amps. It was made by the EMERSON ELECTRIC Co. of New York/St. Louis.

    Like the other, it saw its duty belted up to the motor of a pipe organ blower, where it made the low voltage current to operate the instrument. Also like the other, I've had it for a good number of years now and don't truly remember where it came from.
