[Milsurplus] Mystery Generator

[antqradio at sbcglobal.net]

Kind of harsh Robert, the patent does answer the question of whether the generator is AC or DC and did provide a sketch; so it answers three of the four questions posed by Dennis D.
Voltage?  AC?  DC? Picture?
Small steps perhaps, but certainly not useless.

That was of no use whatsoever.  Just brought up a bunch of US patents with no particular provenance.

A friend has a small engine-generator, single cylinder two-cycle engine, 
nameplate says "Heinz &Kaufmann, 300 Watts, and a low s/n."  Heinz &
Kaufmann made transmitters, and later was well known for transmitting 
tubes, but generators?  This could be contract WWII production, but 
there is no "PE-" identification. Opinions?
