    INTRODUCTION The primary object of maintaining or reconditioning a commutator or slip ring (Collector) is to remove those irregularities which lead to impaired brush efficiency and reduced brush and collector life. Collectors should, in an ideal world, be smooth and true. A collector that is in bad condition should be either re-ground or turned.
