Two speed two commutator dc motor

Two speed two commutator dc motor

(OP)
Good Day!
Does anyone have any information, knowledge, or application of a two speed, two commutator dc motor?   This would make switching speeds easy, but the cost will be more.   Basically there would be two motors wound on the same rotor.   This is a 1/3 HP application with a requirement for high/low speed output to a gear reducer.
We are in concept at the moment and need any information.

Thanks,
Gerald

RE: Two speed two commutator dc motor

Since these motors are not so widespread, it appears that coupling (or tandem)  of two motors of different speeds will be the simplest solution, unless there are weight and space constraints. There would also be some practical advantages to this solution, mostly related to maintenance and possibly cost. But nowadays, the contols and technology are suitable for fast speed switching; therefore, one commutator motor could suffice.

Thanks, jbartos.
We were just wondering if this design made any sense.
