A removable ganged, inside-out brushholder for a dynamoelectric machine slidably supports brushes on pairs of cylindrical brush pins which engage mating pairs of holes in respective brushes. A septum between an adjacent pair of brushes supports the ends of a pair of constant-force springs on opposite sides thereof. The constant-force springs include coiled portions which engage the upper ends of the adjacent brushes between the pairs of cylindrical brush pins thus urging the brushes into contact with the surface of a collector ring. All surfaces of brushes in the vicinity of the collector ring are open for air cooling in this critical region. |
