| X. 4333 BY8-F7.4.24. 20HP DYNAMO BRUSHES. The right way to get over the difficulty in obtaining delivery of a LeCarbone brush is to order at least one series ahead, so that we always have a stock of these brushes on which to draw. So far as I can see there is no proposal likely to come into force which would take the place of the brushes in question. It would be quite wrong, merely from a point of view of slight difficulties in delivery to permit our source of supply to be modified on an issue like a carbon brush, where change of supply will certainly affect the quality of the material of the part in question.
