Theaxis of the brush-holder b is supported by two pivot-screws, 7 ^>.The other brush-holder, b, has a sleeve, rZ, and is movablearound the axis of tlie brush-holder b. In this way each brnsh-holders can turn very freely, the friction of the components beingreduced to a minimum. More than the brush-holders is mounted thesolenoid s, which rests upon a forked column, . This column

Thebrush-holders b b are connected by means of the links e eand tlie cross-piece f to tlie iron core i, whicli sHdes freely in thetube T of the solenoid. The iron core 1 has a screw, .v, by implies<(f which it can be rai.-^cd and adjusted in its position rehitivelvto the soh-noid, so that the pull exerted upon it by the solenoidis practically uniform through the whole length of motion whichis recjuired to effect the regulation. In order to impact theadjustment with greater precision, the core 1 is supplied with asmall iron mtcw, .s. ]he core being tirst brought quite nearlyin the reiinind position reasonably to the st)lenoid by implies ofthe screw .v, the little screw .v is then adjusted until the magneticattraction upon the core is the same when the core is in any posi.lion.
