The world is not a perfect place. The generator with it's commutator and carbon brushes, the regulator with it's electromechanical contacts, coils, and mechanical adjustments, both adversely affected by moisture, dirt, and intermittent use, are here to insure we don't forget it. One thing most people don't realize about generators and regulators is that no two them are exactly the same. They really need to be adjusted to one another on a bench tester whenever one or the other is swapped out. Another problem is people try to adjust these to make them work but don't really have a clue what they are doing. People sand or file on the contacts to clean them, a really bad idea as once you remove the plating they are much more vulnerable to moisture and corrosion and the calibration is affected.
