Interesting old machine still in use. I've talked about similar motors before but not this type AFAIK. To the trained eye, the shape of this one is a giveaway, from which you can identify its maker and the technology it uses, and probably say something about the available electrical supply. In any case the shape should tell you something. Note that the bare aluminium covers are non standard, these would normally be steel mesh vent grilles.

Slip ring induction.

Another good inference, but no sliprings to be found here. And your logic is correct, it can't be universal as that would run on DC.

a brushed motor of sorts
