A very long time ago, one if the pieces of avionics equipment I had to maintain and repair (and I can't remember exactly what it was or what it did) at CGAS Cape Cod had brushes and commutator ring. I still have one of the white, square, somewhat-like-sandstone tools that I used to clean and polish the commutator. I've had no use for it for decades but kept it in my toolbox. Just checked -- it is still there, with the business end ground down to a nice curve. Still about 3" long, so lots of life left on it.
