Compleat Idiot's Guide To AC Motors (single phase)

For over 40 years, I've studiously avoided anything having to do with industrial motors other than to provide the electronics to drive and/or control them. Now I've got to come up to speed to do a short (15 minute) expository on their care, feeding, and use. Anybody got a good URL on bonehead simple AC single phase motors?

Wikipedia article... I like that... "As a consequence the motor's speed tends to infinity, but the motor will destroy itself before it spins that fast."

Reminds me of an email I sent at work on Friday re: incorrect process data... an entry said we processed 39 million gallons per day of water, when we normally process only about 50,000 gallons per day. I wrote an email to our software contractor that the entry was several orders of magnutide greater than we were used to processing... ;) and to fix the algorithm used to calculate it, please...
