<SNIP> (...) OOPS.. I changed diagramming method to a physical ascii art diagram without clarifying it.. Below is 2 switches actuated by a slider which pushes first one switch handle (left switch) from far left to far right then when pushed past the (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)
