We began experimenting with softer brushes, but discontinued these experiments in view of your preference for the Z Le Carbone. We do not think more angular embrace is necessary. We have ascertained that it would be easily possible to have 100% more sections in the commutator and would only add slightly to the cost of production of this item. EFC. {E.
