No clue on your generator but reading thru the charging description of a couple of systems with third brush generators Packard used in the 30s, the third brush was not adjustable and was fixed to give around 23 amps output.

Looking at your photos I don't see anything obvious I would consider being an adjustment mechanism to move the brush so it may be one of the fixed types or maybe not enough detail or the right view in the photos. One of the guys more familiar with that era 120s could probably tell you if it adjusts and where and what to look for in the way of adjustment screws or a brush sliding mechanism.
