Is this an electric motor at Saddlestone Quarry?

 

Bramley Engineering still seem to make lifting gear. This shed is above a big cable that goes down the hillside on Coniston Old Man. Looking at the hollowed out shell below, I think that the two angled metal bars with cupped tops might be stator cores for an electric motor. It is rusty so they are definitely ferrous. The idea of an electric motor is that electric current flows in a rotor and basically acts as an electromagnet that repels from a permanent magnetic field. In many motors, the "permanent" field is actually provided by proper electromagnets. These are coils wrapped around iron cores and are called stators because they don't move. These certainly look like stator coils.

This is the shed at Saddlestone Quarry in which the engine is housed.
