I was taking to another poster via irc and I wondered how the copper leads are attached to
carbon brushes for motors. There isn't any way I'm trying to google that one.

Can anyone here explain the process?

Thanks,

All of the ones I've ever seen had a copper "cup" that the carbon brush sat in.

The copper thingie has a spring attached to the back side to apply pressure so
the brushes stay in contact with the rotor (stator?) in the motor.
