The squeaklng is caused by the
commutator getting rough J. R.
The squeaking is caused by the
commutator being. a little toohdry. A
very light touch of vaseline ”or three—
in-one oil is all that is necessary. A
god way to apply it is to make a swab
of a short. stick with a piece of cloth
wound around one‘~end. Dip this in
the lubricant and drfiv it. across the
commutator while revolving. touch-
ing- it very lightly. The brushes have
a certain quantity of graphite in them.
which is: a ugturaldubricant. but a
touch of oil or vaseline, is good oc-
