(7) Some friction in the pressure arm bearing, with a light pressure-arm head, would be an advantage.

(8) It would be more convenient, from the point of vire of moving the brush in and out of the holder, to have a little more backward movement of the pressure-arm.

(9) If the surface of the bearing wall is machined dead flat, and the other points adhered to, then the amount of clearance, axial and circumferential, between brush and holder, does not matter providing it is not less than .004".

(10) It is understood that the brush level angle is 130° to 150°.
