plate 24 has a pair of lugs 32 that are formed with openings so as to receive fasteners for affixing it to the associated engine or body of the associated vehicle the rotor 27 is provided with a plurality of coil windings 33 that cooperate with the permanent magnets 23 electrical current is fed to these windings by means of a commutator 34 that is fixed forwardly of the windings 33 and which cooperates with brushes mounted on a brush holder 35 as is known in the art the rotor 27 has a portion 36 that protrudes from the front end plate 25 for cooperation with a flywheel starter gear not shown of the associated engine for its starting in a well known manner the front end plate 25 is provided with an electrical fitting 37 for passing an electrical cable 38 that supplies electrical current to the windings 33 of the rotor 27 through the brushes a terminal post 39 provides one of these electrical connections through a conductor 41 that is insulated from the stator case outer housing 22 by an insulating sleeve 42 the conductor 41 supplies electrical power to the brushes not shown from a terminal plate 43 the other connection is provided by grounding of the housing 32 to the vehicle body or engine in a manner well known.
