Default 13 inch Series... a few questions....

Wondering about the terminals on this...and if anyone knows the brand...

I'm pretty sure it came out of a Caterpiller lift truck. Looks in very good shape on inside.... bit dirty on outside....

As for the terminals.... my first thought was connection to field windings for series/parallel switching??....but.... I thought 4 terminals were required for this?? One is labelled BWI, another F1 - E1 (the"F1" has box around it), the other is F2 - E2 (F2 has a box around it).

The pigtail is likely thermal switch connection.... yes?

Does the symbol on the tag look familiar to anyone?

This thing will likely handle gobs of current with the big bars... 37 segment comm... but maybe not so high voltage? No interpoles.. would love to fit some though.

I'm thinking to put this in my truck, direct drive.
