Hi Listers,
My brother is installing the two new carbon blocks (as sold by Moss) in his 
1-speed TR4 wiper motor and wondering which way the grooves in the carbon 
blocks go.
I figure the grooves should be installed parallel with the commutator 
seperators - and are there to provide 'wiping action', for better starting 
contact, 
and maybe to help with 'bedding in'.
Is that right? Do the carbon block's grooves go parallel with the shaft and 
commutator or should they run perpendicular?
Regards,
Carl
