Motor mounting images?

Does anyone have photos of a C & P Press New Style running with a motor similar to the one shown below? I’m trying to figure out how and where it mounts.

Thanks!

Looks like a variable speed motor meant to run with the roller in contact with the flywheel to drive the press. Does the hidden side of the motor mount have a spring pushing upward?

The motor mounts to the floor directly behind the press so that the friction pulley makes contact with the rim of the flywheel. If there isn’t a spring opposite the hinge side of the plate that motor fastens to then there should be an adjustment bolt to raise and lower the motor so that you can fine tune the pressure of the friction drive.

Thanks so much!
I’ll see what I can figure out.
