  • Published:
Metallurgist Aims and scope

An analysis is made of existing and new designs of carbon brushes and collectors for the pantographs of trams and electric trains. Descriptions are given of a new method of making carbon brushes and a new design of pantograph collector. The new method and the new design are based on inventions of the authors of the article.
