Yes, I believe it does make sense as long as I remember the left side of the box
is always the piston and the right always the switch. I have been using hand
drawings and my head. Without a good method for creating drawings they can
become confusing. I'm not used to reading this type of diagram nor do I have
any traing in electronics, engineering, etc., so, your notation must be clear if
I understand it.

Paul
