Anyone on here who can ID this heavy electric motor? It's from an old Clark floor sander, and I'm trying to figure out the HP, which is the part of the tag that's impossible to read. I'd guess it's from the 1950s or so. Thanks for any help. It's 220v single phase I believe.

Going only by the volts and amps I'm gonna guess
somewhere between 3 and 3.5 hp.

I would punch that up to between 3.5 and 4.0 (2.8 kW, right?)

Thanks fellas, that's what I needed to know.
