Hello Colin,

Thank for the translation, I am at loss when it comes to Chinese. This is the translation John came up with, it is pretty close to what you said:

Motor Number….….Date
Normal Speed……...Highest Speed.

I hope that this helps, or dose it muddy the water more?

Thank you "Xiānshēng" (hope I got that right),
