Is my assumption correct that the long brushes that cover the slot in the contour of a detachable quad are there to keep people like me from looking up instead of paying attention while loading and unloading?

Haha that's a good thought but no. They're used to brush off any snow on the grip/hanger assembly.

They are actually used to "seal" the terminal and keep snow from blowing up into the terminal thru the opening...

You are talking about the entry Brush just as the chair enters the terminal. Not what he is talking about.....

Haha, I know exactly what you mean ceo. When I was in france there was a 1994 Poma detachable with the old grips without the brushes, I couldnt help but peek up after loading to watch the grip clamp on. Was the first time I had seen it actually happen other than videos.
