It is upside down, but can be read. And the connections "make sense" at least with what familiarity I have with the later Model A generator. The three brush version is not that much different connection wise - at least the parts on the casing/housing.
That is the pix I tried to describe with my N-S-O-N-S nomenclature above.
As I tried to say, the poles "alternate" around the periphery of the case.
And - I expect the windings of the associated armature have a similar orientation - hence two or four pickup brushes. I expect the two different pickup types have a corresponding armature wind.
Somewhere around here I have an early 20th century book on dynamo types/winding. "Weave winding" is one name that sticks in my head but I can't say what exactly that was all about, or specifically which field arrangement that was used against. I'll have to go find the book and see if there is some correlation to the Model A Powerhouse.
And I still have two probably functioning and complete Powerhouse generators up with parts - and another bought "cheap" as parts and because I might need.
