12. Q. How are the brushes fitted?

A. Brushes are fitted by cutting a strip of No. 0 sandpaper about the

width of the commutator surface (have the dynamo idle), place the

strips of sandpaper under the brush, then pull the sandpaper from left

to right; continue this process until the brush has been fitted to a

true smooth bearing. Then trim about one-eighth inch off of the front

edge of the brush.
