Yes, the ramp is where the brush spring pushes against the backside 
of the brush.

Yes.

Not sure what you mean here.

The pigtail is always installed on the opposite side from the spring. 
The question is which way the ramp slopes: toward the pigtail, or 
toward the spring.

For Type 3s, I believe the ramp should slope down on the pigtail side 
of the brush.
