The dovetail base of the carbon element is in this way firmly shrunk into the slipped on mounting.
Any very fine spaces left between the bottom Ic of the carbon collector element and the slippedon mounting may be filled in by casting according to a known method. A mass for this purpose, which is preferably electrically conductive, will penetrate into all the nest interstices between the inside of the mounting and the carbon element and will connect them mechanically and electrically to form a single body. The mass used for this purpose may alternatively act as an insulator, as the current supply will nevertheless be maintained. Masses of this kind are for instance quickly setting cements and more particularly sulphur. The reinforcing rib is welded, soldered or otherwise connected at its edge I which is closed by the rib being bent to a curve.
