made of brass or phosphor bronze,
about 11a inches long, and is held in

The sub-panel was made of piece
of bakelite. The contacts are spaced
three-eights of an inch apart on a
radius of Ia inches, also with the
proper switch stops. The spider spring
behind the sub-panel on the shaft gives
enough tension to make very excellent
contacts both for the lever and lead.
