SWITCHBOX ON 14-EX.

The switchbox on 14-EX has magneto in addition to battery on the first position, but there is the additional switch for earthing the magneto when not required.

This way, the arrangement is not the one, (viz. the present standard arrangement of B; M, B & C; and M & C ) recommended for use with the auto switch, the test of which will be unaffected by this fact.
