Hi Ted, it sounds like a series connected DC motor. Does it have 3 or 4 leadout wires?
3 wire types you connect the common wire (usually A) and one or other of the field windings (sometimes f.ff or y.yy) for forward or reverse direction
4 wire types bring out both arm and field leads and a pair of changeover contactors are used.
These motors will also work well with transistorised speed controllers.
