Old school device. Drive the spindle and it generates voltage. Input voltage and it spins as a motor. Hence the name dynamotor.

No, it's a dynamAtor, an alternator that looks like and fits directly in place of a dynamo.
Worth having if you have an old school standard beetle and want it to look factory standard.
Yes..... getting old and need to visit spec savers... ;D (With hindsight realise it would be too much to hope for that proper "old school" stuff would appear again).

Dynamotors are still going strong, just look at and petrol engined golf buggy, they both start and charge thru the same belt driven unit.
Have one somewhere hidden away. Given to me by my grandfather. He passed away when I was eighteen so it must have been passed to me in the mid sixties. Cannot recall what it came off. My grandfather and two uncles had heaps of ex army/raf parts. I was given a Lancaster "bomb sight computer" nothing at all in common with modern computer. Loads of dials, motors and an in built gyroscope ;D ;D
