Abstract

The combination of the brush holder of the alternator and the voltage regulator into a unitary structure mounted on a cover fitting over a hole in the alternator casing enables the complete assembly to be economically made in the mushroom shape conventional for d.c. generators of vehicle engines, so that the device can readily be incorporated into an engine of existing design.
