My wife and I are spinners and weavers.  I am assuming a "carding brush" is what is 
really called a card.  It's a board, either flat or curved, with a handle on one side; 
the surface of the board (or card) is covered with a cloth that is covered with metal 
hooks, similar to really aggresive velcro, only made of steel.  Two of these are used 
together to align the fibers before spinning them.

For a picture, http://www.woolery.com/fiberprepfr.html about 1/2 way down the page are 
some good cards; 

For our use, to prepare dubbing etc, a flick card (about 3/4 of the way down the page) 
is good - you use one and comb the fiber against a piece of leather or new blue jeans. 
 A cat comb works well for this.
