of which there are four in use on all machines, are made of a broad strip of springy copper having six slits two thirds the distance up, and thus touching at several points. They are held by clamps shown at Fig. 23 which also shows the brushes. The brushes are held to the commutator by their own springiness and the variation of position due to strength of current. The brushes are set by a gauge sent with each dynamo which shows length from the end of brush to the holder. The holders are set at the correct angle by a gauge of brass of the shape of a right angled triangle the short side having a wide flange curved to fit the commutator for which it is sent, while the second side as regards length must fit to the holder when swung to it on the commutator as an axis.

After describing the details of the dynamo, we will at once proceed to find how the
