Google finds this, which seems to get closer:Brian Lawrence said:I believe the armatures to be from vintage motorcycle generators, as I bought a motorcycle parts hoard and these were in there.
So they should be dc, manufacturer I haven't a clue, but a lot of them have this GAS number, and I'd like to be able to identify them if at all possible.
Or a Goldmine!Brian Lawrence said:I saw that there was one on Ebay. Weird?
GAS numbers stamped on armatures refer to a unique identification number that is assigned to a specific armature. This number is used to track and identify the armature throughout its lifecycle.
GAS numbers are important because they allow for easy identification and tracking of armatures. This is especially useful in industries where many armatures are used, such as manufacturing or automotive.
GAS numbers are usually assigned by the manufacturer of the armature. They may use a specific numbering system or follow industry standards for assigning these numbers.
GAS numbers do not have a specific meaning in terms of their numerical value. However, they may contain information about the manufacturer, production date, or other relevant details.
While there are no industry-wide standards for GAS numbers, many manufacturers use a consistent format for their numbers. This may include a combination of letters and numbers, and may vary in length.
