These brushes appear to be worth further test. We were informed by Mr Lawrence of the Le Carbone Co, that there and EGA brushes had a lower co-efficient of friction than Z grade, and as they compare with Z in other features they may offer a solution to the chattering difficulty sometimes experienced.
A closer comparison with EG2 Morganite brushes from this point of view might also be beneficial.
