-Meter Training (12 July 62) n.
having or containing a carbon brush, a small,
block-shaped piece of material made of metal or carbon that serves to
relay an
electrical current between stationary and moving parts of a
mechanical device,
machine, etc. The carbon brush is attached to one part of the
machinery and
brushes or slides against the
second part continually as it moves. Since carbon is a conductor, it allows
electricity to
flow from one part, through the carbon brush, into the other part.
