[T3] Generator ... again

There's a sort of saddle on the top of the brush which the spring rests in.
If the flat part is towards the spring, the ramp runs down away from the
brush spring.

This page has a photo shows an angled face on the mid part of the brush that
the spring rests in:-

This page shows a brush fitted in a Beetle dynamo with the spring tail on
the flat top of the brush, not in the ramp.
I assume that's what Jim is saying, but I may have that wrong.

All this discussion about the brush ramp direction ... "right way", "wrong
way" ... is fascinating, but, being a VERY visual person, a DRAWING or very
detailed PICTURE(s) would be extremely helpful.

It's like the difference between how men and women give directions to a
location.
A lot of women seem to like giving directions with words.
Example:
"You go down this street, that way. I don't know what direction that is.
When you get past about the fifth light, turn left.  I think that's Maple
(or maybe it's Sycamore).  Anyway, there's a Thrift Store on one corner and
a Taco Bell on the other corner.  Turn left there and go down a ways to the
Catholic Church and turn right.  The restaurant you're looking for is next
to some beauty parlor."

Many men seem to prefer giving directions with drawings.

"(insert drawing here, using the top of the page as north [like
cartographers do]).
Draw a horizontal line, draw 5 cross streets, Draw a north/south line
showing a left turn.  Draw several more cross streets and make an "X"
for the approximate location of the restaurant.
DONE!

That I can follow.  Maybe?  :-0

Can someone do a drawing of the commutator; brushes, and "ramp"?
