flather dynamo

Gents,
After 12 months of pestering, a customer of mine has finally
decided to sell me his large dynamo and control board. Its made by
Flather & Co LTD, Park Electrical Works, Leeds, England.
Its 100-140 volts at 1150RPM 28 AMPS, an seems in good condition, the
brushes are good, but theres a little wear in the bearings that
hopefully should'nt take much sorting out. The control panel, i am led
to believe is original to the dynamo, but unfortunatly theres a bit of
slate chipped of at the top corner. The voltage guage has been replaced
at some point as it does'nt match the other, theres a space where
another guage should be, but having no knowlege of generating plant im
not sure what that one would be for. Any ideas? i could also use any
advice or a diagram on wireing up the control panel for use on the
rally field as i want it to be as safe as poss. also Is there any way
of dateing the dynamo? my guess from the style it dates from around
1910 but i'm open to correction. I'll make a trolly for it as its very
heavy and if all goes well i will have it belted up to my Lister N or Q
at astle next year.
