2011 forum posts	It's my understanding that neutraliser brushes touch the segments, and collectors have "spikes".I made the collectors by soldering fine copper wire across the "U"s and cutting to give a small gap. Considered making a Bonnetti machine but thought the N of Scotland not good for best performance!
