It was a slow turning alternator that I think I remember actually had
greased wood bearings. It was large because the rotor was laminated
plywood at they had stuck rare earth magnets on it. Then there was
copper windings on, or course, plywood forms.

I think I found it with a google search .

You're kidding me? a plywood alternator..... was it just a plywood shell
with the usual copper windings inside?
