time2roll is correct although that generator is now ancient history.
The 12-turn Onan (6.5NH) was pure volts per hertz regulated. Self-regulated. Saturated field.
One burp and the next amplitude could take it to 150 volts.
It was a sturdy monster like the old Delco 20Kw railroad reefer generators powered by Detroit 2 or 3 cylinder 71 engines.
I loved these old Onans. 12-wire reconfigurable 120/240 stators. 1,200 RPM. Wish I could find one.
